Hi Jose; the slight curve on the # DT42GR is just how Draw-Tite decided to design the hitch. The same is true for the straight cross tube of the Curt # C96NR. The different designs don't really have an advantage over each other and they have the same towing capacity.

Both will be hidden behind the bumper cover so appearance isn't really a concern either. If I were to recommend one it would be the Curt. Curt tends to add a thicker powder coat so it holds up better over time.

If you plan on towing you will also need wiring and a ball mount. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C27BR will plug into the connection points behind your tail lights. This will provide you with a 4-way to power your trailer's signal lights. For a ball mount, check out the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches # C45534.
