Question:

What is the difference between your hitch and the Curt hitch? I want to add one of them to my 2024 Jeep Compass.

The Curt # C13363 and etrailer # e48AR are both Class III hitches with a bolt-on installation. They also have the same max gross trailer weight of 4,000 lbs and max tongue weight of 600 lbs. The design for the two hitches is actually identical. The difference is going to be the finish. The Curt has a glossy finish while the etrailer hitch has a matte black finish. I prefer the matte black since it gives the hitch that OEM look. It also does a better job hiding dirt and scratches so that is an added bonus.
