Draw-tite or Curt hitch?

Am considering the Curt 14355 and the Draw-Tite 41920 hitches for my F-150. The truck currently has an Ford OEM Class III but I want something a little more robust. Either one of these after market hitches will be more than adequate for my needs.
The major difference between the Draw-Tite and the Curt is the Draw-Tite is a Class V(weighs 73lbs.) and Curt is a Class IV (weighs 52 lbs).
Anyone have opinions on either of the above hitches or prefer one brand over the other one?

I have a Class 4 curt for my old body style ford. Only bought a hitch, because back then they didn't come from the factory with one.



I'd run the OEM class 3. We have put them through hell for years pulling out stuck tractors and trucks. Never bent on me.

Either will exceed you towing capabilities of your truck.
Get which ever one you can get a better price on.

They are both quality 1 piece hitches

The OEM Class 3 will tow way more than your truck is rated for too.
