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?
