Comparing Etrailer Hitch vs Curt Trailer Hitch for 2015 Subaru Forester
Question:
Hi, What is the difference between hitch #e98839 and #c13144? Maybe paint finish? Need one for my 2014 Subaru Forester XT. Thanks

Exactly! Both hitches are very similar in design and construction. That is usually what happens when hitches are custom-fit for your vehicle. The main difference is the finish.
I personally prefer the matte finish that # e98839 has. We have them on some of our vehicles here and I think they do better at hiding dirt, scuffs, and scratches. They also have that rugged sporty look. Others like the traditional polished look that hitches like # c13144 have though. It is really up to you, but rest assured that both hitches are sturdy and will get the job done.
