When we installed Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13534 on the 2008 Toyota Highlander we found that the hitch tube opening was 14-3/8-inches above ground level. This will vary slightly depending on cargo load, tire pressure and tire tread depth.

The Curt hitch has plenty of tongue weight (TW) capacity, 750-lbs, to allow use of the Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier # UF48-979033. Once you subtract the carrier's weight (about 50-lbs) you'll still have enough remaining hitch capacity to use the full 500-lb carrier weight capacity for your motorcycle.

If your concern is clearance at a driveway approaching at a sharp angle can help.
