Which hitch for my XJ?

[DrinkBeer]

I'm looking for a hitch for my XJ. I think I'll either be going with a Curt or a U-Haul, but I'm leaning towards the Curt.

If I do go witht he Curt, which model should I go with?

There is this round tube shown here:

Or the Square one here:

Both are supposed to fit XJ's but I'm wondering, which will be strongest, look the best, and which would you choose? Prices are both the same.

Thanks.

I think the limiting factor when towing should be the rating given by the vehicle manufacturer, not the hitch design...

Personally I like the round tube better, but both should be fine.

The square tube one looks exactly like the one I got at uHaul.

I started a thread about this a few weeks ago. I used to have a Valley brand one but just replaced it due to rust damage. I ended up getting a Curt round tube. It looks nice. Really heavy compared to my old one. So heavy it makes me wonder what the wall thickness is on the tubing they use. I was worried about it hanging down lower than my old one. I was happy to find that its only about a 1/4" lower.

I really like my Hidden Hitch on my '98. The majority of it tucks up behind the bumper. I think it looks and has performed quite well.

I have a hidden hitch on my 91 it fits great

Mine also works perfectly with my ZJ factory gas tank skid.
