Ground Clearance for Curt Hitch Installed on 2018 Ford Transit Connect

Question

Question:

I have an angled driveway and I am concerned my 2018 Ford Transit Connect with the Curt hitch C 13167 might scrape the driveway or garage floor. Do you know the height from the bottom of the hitch to the ground on a 2018 Transit Connect XLT? Thank you!

Expert Reply:

When installed on your 2018 Ford Transit Connect the Curt hitch part # C13167 is going to have about 10 inches of ground clearance. Since your vehicle sits so low to the ground it's hard to fit a hitch there and have decent ground clearance.
