Which Hitch for 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon Provides Best Ground Clearance
Question:
I have a 2017 Subaru 2.5L Outback Limited. I want to add a Class 2 receiver 1 1/4. What do you have that will be the least visible and provide the highest ground clearance Hidden Hitch, Drawtite or others?

Expert Reply:
The Draw Tite hitch part # 36493 will a bit lower at 14-1/4 inches from the top of the hitch down to the ground whereas the Curt # C12136 will sit 15-3/4 inches from the ground measured the same.
Now the Draw Tite will be tucked under the vehicle further by about 2-1/2 inches but the ground clearance difference I believe would make it less visible.
