Hi Robert,

For your 2021 Tesla Model Y, the most economical hitch is either the Curt or Draw-Tite (prices can fluctuate which is why it may be either)

- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C67RV

- Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT58MR

I think you can certainly make the argument that these are also both the best due to Curt and Draw-Tite's longstanding reputation for making quality hitches. They have the same 3,500 lb capacity and If it were me, I would honestly just go with the least expensive one as they'll both serve your Model Y perfectly.

Wiring doesn't give you that type of choice though, as what you'll need is the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 119250KIT.

Thankfully, the manufacturer, Tekonsha, is our favorite due to how reliable their wiring harnesses are, so you're getting a very good product.

Hi Robert, how did things turn out with the Curt or Draw-Tite hitch on your Model Y? Did the Tekonsha wiring harness work smoothly with your setup? Your update could make it easier for the next person choosing between those options.
