New Curt hitch?

I just called a local installer for hitches, and in addition to the torklift ecohitch, he mentioned that there is a new Curt hitch available for about $200 cheaper. The main differences that I see are the receiver is not removable and only comes in one and a quarter inch size.

Given the timing and identical tow rating, I thought this might be the OEM supplier, but apparently the European 3s have a removable receiver, so probably not.

Anyone have any experience with these?

I would rather get a tow hitch similar to the European Tesla Model 3 Tow Hitch which can be removed:

$538 - Stealth Hitches - Model 3
Note: Provides a choice of tow, rack, and combination of tow and rack hitches.

I ended up going with the Ecohitch, since it seems to be fairly well-tested around here. I didn't think you could purchase the european kit individually.
