Expert Reply:

The Draw-Tite Class III reciever hitch you'd looked at # 76176 and the Curt Class III, part # C13366 are pretty much identical. The design is very similar, they have the same capacity, they install in the same manner and are similarly priced. The Curt hitch is assembled in the USA, while the Draw-Tite is manufactured in Mexico, which is the only reason I might choose the one over the other.

If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you'll need a trailer wiring harness like # C56383 and a ball mount like # 2753. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19260 or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball.
