Which Trailer Hitch Receiver Offers The Most Ground Clearance On 2019 Lexus NX 300?

Question

Question:

So I am looking for a hitch that sits as close to the bottom of the bumper as possible. Its hard to tell from the pictures on the site but the draw tie looks like it is closer to the bumper than the kurt. Can you let me know please?

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13337 and Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75956 are both confirmed to fit your 2019 Lexus NX 300. Both offer very similar fitment and we have not had the pleasure of testing both of these receivers on the 2019 Lexus NX 300 so it is difficult to say which one would offer more ground clearance.

That said, we have been able to test the Curt on this vehicle and we measured 12-1/2" from the top of the receiver opening to the ground. We did test the Draw-Tite on a similar vehicle, the 2016 Lexus NX 200T, and we measured 13-1/2" from the top of the receiver opening to the ground. Since these vehicles are technically built on the same platform, I recommend going with the Draw-Tite as this receiver seems to offer one more inch of ground clearance.
