I was wondering if anyone could tell me the difference in these hitches. Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch are made by the same company and look identical.
Valley has a center mount. Over the receiver is a metal plate that the others do not have, but the Valley also doesn't have 2 areas where the side plates weld on.
In reality, I'll probably never tow the maximum capacity of the MDX, so I'm not sure it matters. But at the same time, Valley is cheapest at $146.95, then Hidden Hitch at $162.95 and lastly Draw-Tite at $179.95.
The Hidden/Draw-Tite have beefier mounting plates on the sides of the hitch with more welds to the plate, which I like more. Would going with one of these be more secure vs. the Valley which has less welds on the side mounts but does have the center mount?
Compared to the OEM hitch, the OEM one has the center mount like Valley, but the side plates are welded on like the Hidden/Draw-Tite.
Also, do these aftermarket hitches have a plate to mount the wiring harness connector on the hitch itself? How are people doing this part with an aftermarket hitch?
Which of these aftermarket ones do you think I should go with?
