Great question Carlos, the truth is, there’s no real difference between the two hitches: Part # e36KR and Part # C67ER. They’re both made to the same specs, install the same way, and neither one requires any drilling into the frame.

The main difference comes down to the finish and branding. The e36KR is the etrailer-branded version and has a matte black finish, while the C67ER is from Curt and has more of a glossy black finish.

Personally, I’d go with the etrailer version. I just think the matte black looks a little cleaner and blends in better under the vehicle. Totally up to your style preference, but functionally, you’re getting the same great hitch either way!

What are you using the hitch for? Don't forget you will need wiring if you are planning on towing! I am happy to help you out with that.
