CURT 17132 is an option, though it's so much cheaper I have to question the quality.
??? Strange statement
Really, when the other two options on the market are within 10% of each other and the third is 30% cheaper than the less expensive option it's generally that way for a reason. Markets are generally fairly efficient so there's no way to save 30% and present a good of the same quality.
As but one example when I bough the AC for my house I got 5 quotes, they varied in price from $2k to $8k, the $2k quote was a contractor grade brand installed by unlicensed day laborers, there were 3 quotes in the middle within $500 of each other all using similar grade equipment and licensed and insured professionals, and the $8k quote was for a Cadillac system with stupid high labor rates. I threw out the high and low bids and selected from the middle 3 based on reputation. They ended up having to come back to do some rework and didn't charge for the trip or the materials to make it right. The unit lasted 17 years, almost four times the warranty period.
You're free to spend your money as you wish but life has taught me there's no free lunch and deals that appear to be too good to be true almost always are.
