Question:
What is the difference between the 2 hitches below? Which would be the better choice for a setup of 2024 F150 Hybrid with tow package E-Pro E191SFD HW 430 GVWR 4490 BLU66FR BXW1000

Hey David.
The only difference between the two is that # BLU66FR comes with a different shank giving you 3" more rise/drop. Everything else is the exact same to # BXW1000. One will not give you more towing capacity than the other. When it comes to which one is better, it all depends on your needs and what you're towing. Having a greater rise/drop range gives you more flexibility for sure.
What are you planning to tow?
