Comparing etrailer and Curt Trailer Hitches for 2020 Ford Ranger
Question:
Looks like there are 2 hitches for a 2020 ford ranger from curt and etrailer. Is there really any difference in these hitches or are they pretty much the same thing, install-wise and all the rest.

Expert Reply:
The etrailer and Curt trailer hitches that fit your 2020 Ford Ranger are very similar, with the biggest difference being their finishes. The etrailer Trailer Hitch # e63ZR has a black matte finish and the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13417 has the traditional glossy black finish.
Aside from that, they have the same capacities and each hitch is a relatively simple bolt-on installation using standard tools - a torque wrench, ratchet, socket, socket extension, and C-clamps. The hitches install the same way - just remove the factory M16 bolts, raising the hitch into position and re-torqueing the bolts to secure the hitch. Additionally, they come with a lifetime warranty.
I have added links to the installation instructions of both hitches for you to check out.
For trailer wiring the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector part # 22124 is a really good choice as it will provide you with a 7-way trailer connector. If you are going to add wiring the DrawTite would be the way to go because it already has the bracket there to connect the 7 way to.
