I can help you understand why there are differentiating measurements on the Demco Hijacker # DM8550034.

Both specifications are correct per the manufacture's instructions; the unit has adjustments from 15.25, 16.5, and 18.0. See attached image.

According to the video, Jeff states the measurements from the bottom of the truck bed, so his measurements take in account the height of the above the bed rails this unit will need to be installed on. In the video that the lowest hitch height adjustment would be 16-1/2 inches, the middle adjustment would be 17-3/4 inches, and the highest would be 19-1/4 inches, because the hitch height is measured from your truck bed to the top of your hitch head.
