Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13303 actually doesn't fit your 2014 Lexus ES.
If you have an ES 350 then the Draw-Tite trailer hitch those fits is part # 36530 which measures 9-1/8" from the top of the mounting brackets to the bottom of the mounting brackets. From the top of the mounting brackets to the receiver though is 8-1/8".
For an ES 300h the only trailer hitch that fits is the Curt # C11362 which has an overall height measurement of 8-3/16".
Attached are installation instructions and pictures showing the different dimensions given. A lot of vehicles that sit lower to the ground have the same problem that you are experiencing so you may need to just make sure you angle your car when going up your driveway unfortunately.
