Hey Stacey, thanks for reaching out!

The hubs themselves are the same, the difference is what they come with.

The Dexter Hub and Drum # 8-219-4UC3 comes with the bearings and a seal that has a 2.125" inner diameter, while the etrailer Hub and Drum # AKHD-865-7-2-EZ-K comes with the bearings and a seal that has a 2.250" inner diameter, plus it comes pre-greased so it's essentially ready to be installed right out of the box.

Are you planning on installing the hub/drum yourself, or having a shop do it?

Hey Stacey, how did things go with the hub and drum you chose for your trailer? It’d be great to hear if the fit and pre-greased setup worked as expected. Your update could make it easier for the next person comparing these two options.
