The trailer hitch receiver with the most ground clearance for your 2020 Chevy Colorado is the the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98909 along with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13176.

When we test fit these hitches on a 2020 Chevy Colorado we found they measured 18-3/4 inches from the top of the receiver to the ground (about 16-1/2 inches from the bottom of the receiver to the ground).

Their counterparts from Draw-Tite were close, with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76004 and # 75948 measuring 18-1/2 inches from the top of the receiver to the ground (about 16-1/4 inches to the ground).

I have added links to video installs of each of these trailer hitches for you to check out as well.

Answer 7

It is normal for grease to get inside the Bearing Buddy #BB1781 underneath the Bra #BB17B. As the grease heats up it can expand and will push out the Bearing Buddy so it will not damage the grease seal on your hub.
