Looking for trailer hitches for a 2020 Kia telluride. Aside from the flat vs glossy finish, what’s the difference between the Curt and the etrailer hitches?

Hey Michael, thanks for reaching out!
The only difference between the etrailer # e45ZR and Curt # C13420 hitches that fit your 2020 Kia Telluride is the finish. Aside from that they are the same.
I personally like the etrailer matte black coating better. I've owned a few of them and they tend to hold up really well against corrosion and scratches.
I see that you ordered the etrailer hitch and the T-One Wiring # 118784 from us just recently (thanks for that by the way!). Are you looking to do some towing with the hitch?
