Helpful Expert Reply:

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11423 while installed on a 2015 Audi A6 will provide around 7-1/2" of ground clearance. This will be fine for most hitch mounted accessories like bike racks but for cargo carriers you'll want to look for options with a built-in rise. In regards to towing, it should not be a problem but it really comes down to several other factors so it's hard to say. That said, there really isn't anything you can do to increase this so just keep that in mind when going up steep hills and driveways etc. and you should be fine.

In order to satisfy Curt warranty requirements, any of their Class I or II receivers (like the C11423 you referenced) as well as a few of their Class III hitches must be used with a stabilizing strap like part #18050. This applies to any non-trailer…

Stabilizer straps aren't recommended or required for carrying heavier bike racks like what you plan to do with your 2020 Subaru Forester. I don't recommend going that route as I'd hate to see you damage your new vehicle. Instead I'd…
