When we installed the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7317 on a similar 2019 Volkswagen Passat we found that from the ground to the center of the receiver opening measured 11".

So that is what you should expect once installed on your 2020 Volkswagen Passat.

This hitch has a 300lb tongue weight rating, and a 2000lb trailer weight rating making it a perfect option for a bike rack, cargo carrier, or a ball mount for light duty towing.

If you can tell me what you are planning on using your trailer hitch receiver for I would be happy to recommend the best products for you needs.

I included a video of the # 306-X7317 being installed for you to take a look at.
