What is the Difference Between the Draw-Tite DT76MR and Curt CU74FR for My 2021 Jeep Gladiator?

Expert Reply:

There are a couple things to consider between the Draw-Tite - 2" # DT76MR and the Curt - 2" # CU74FR for your 2021 Jeep Gladiator. First off is where the hitches are manufactured. The Curt hitch is also assembled in the U.S.A. while the Draw-Tite is not. It is also important to note that the Curt hitch is not designed to fit diesel models.

Given these differences, I recommend the Draw-Tite hitch for the fact that it has a higher quality coating (e-coat) and will fit if you have a diesel model Gladiator.

If you are planning on towing with your vehicle, I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45534 along with the T-One Wiring Harness - 4-Way # 118786 (if you do not have a factory tow package) or the Curt T-Connector # C55384 (if you have a factory tow package). These harnesses will give your Gladiator brake lights, running lights, and turn signals on your lightweight trailer.
