Question:

I’ve been using the Curt Rambler. What’s the main difference stepping up to the Seeker?

Good question, Kelly. The Rambler # C26FR is a lighter-duty bar rated for 7,500 lbs. The Curt Seeker # C32HB ups that to 10,000 lbs and adds sealed arms with rubber sleeves, so grit and road dust won’t jam up the auto locking mechanism (Rambler has a manual level/latch, not auto latching). You also get the three-lug shackle ends, which spread the load and reduce wear on the base plate tabs. Think of it as Curt’s heavy-duty upgrade for frequent towers.

How heavy is your current towed setup?
