Trailer Hitch Ground Clearance for 2011 Honda Odyssey

Question

Question:

Hi - I am having trouble figuring out the ground clearance I get for each of the hitches recommended for a 2011 Honda Odyssey. Can you provide the ground clearance I get for the Curt hitches both class II and III as well as the draw-tite max-frame hitch? The videos for the draw-tite show different heights for the 2012 and 2014 videos so Im unclear as to the impact to my 2011. Thanks!

When we installed the Draw Tite hitch part # 75270 on a 2011 Honda Odyssey the distance from the ground to the top of the hitch opening was 12 inches. When we installed # 76025 the distance was 12-1/2 inches. The Curt # C13068 was 12-3/4 inches. Draw Tite Class II # 36417 was 11-3/4 inches, and finally Curt Class II # C12031 was 12-3/4 inches.

All of them basically install in the same place but due to the design of your vehicle there isn't an option with great ground clearance.
