Hello again Tom; the Blue Ox # BLU93FR and Curt # C39ZV are nearly identical so the main difference is the branding and the cost. Both have removable arms and install in the same location. The Curt is actually compatible with Blue Ox and Curt tow bars so there is no advantage over the Blue Ox and will save you some money.
