Reese vs drawtite

[Poopdeck]

In the aftermarket hitch world is there a difference between the two? Reese is $138 and drawtite $156. Feedback on these two would be great! Thanks!

I've had both brands on several different vans/trucks, etc. and I can not seem to notice a difference. A hitch is a hitch, just check the rating on the hitch (Class).

Curt has closed/sealed horizontal ends for 05-10 that I prefer. E-trailer has a variety and pictures on the van that you can choose from.

I've used Draw-Tite (truck), and have had friends with Reese (another truck, same model). No difference, except looks and price. Both pulled boats and trailers, as designed.

Go to both the Reese and Draw Tite websites and you will see they are both owned by Cequent. In most cases the only thing that changes is the label. Between those two I would buy whichever is cheaper, but it used to alway be the Draw Tite brand that was cheaper. Interesting that it is Reese right now.

Thanks for the great replies! You guys hit the nail on the head. Here is the email I just got back from the seller.
"This is a Reese pro series. Both of them are made by the same manufacturer called Cequent and hence you see even the drawtite name. "
