The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98903 is an excellent option for a 2020 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. The ground clearance will vary by vehicle but when we installed this on a 2020 Hybrid the distance from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver tube was 13", you can subtract about 2-1/4" to get the distance from the ground to the bottom of the receiver tube which will give you about 10-3/4".

I don't have any measurements from the bottom of the bumper to the bottom of the receiver tube but you should still be able to determine compatibility using the above.
