Question:
I currently have the 13160 hitch, I use this hitch for a motorcycle carrier. I would like a hitch that is lower to the ground to make it easier to load my motorcycle, noticed 13084 also fits my Jeep and looks a bit lower, my question is how much lower is it?

Expert Reply:
From the top of the hitch opening to ground the Curt Hitch part # 13084 that you referenced will be about 15 inches depending on the height of your vehicle. The Curt Hitch part # 13160 will sit about 5 inches higher.
So going with the # 13084 will place the hitch opening approximately 5 inches closer to the ground
