Front Receiver Hitch

Draw-Tite -or- Curt?

What brand is better?
Looking for a front receiver for using to back a 4500# boat back into it's storage slot.
Anyone have any experience or suggestions.

Mine is a Warn, it bolts to the frames. I use it for my boat and also it's handy for bikes. I have no complaints with it.

I have a DrawTite. No complaints here. I believe its rated the same as the ClassIV that I have on the back.

Mine's a Hidden Hitch from JCWhitney. Mostly I use it to hold a winch on the front. It seems fine. I have used it to back trailers into tight spots. Good control.
regards, as always, jefe

Hidden Hitch, Reese, and Draw Tite are all owned and made by Cequent Towing Products.
Each is of a slightly different design. I have a Draw Tite. Use it to mount a winch, hitch or push board at the races. Very useful.

My front bumper replacement has an integrated front receiver hitch. I haven't used it for anything yet, but it's welded both sides, and the bumper welded to the frame, so all should be well.
