Expert Reply:

When we installed the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76209 on a 2019 Subaru Impreza Wagon there was about 10 inches of ground clearance which is pretty standard. I don't see you have any issues with ground clearance with daily driving. I have attached an installation video for your reference.

If you are concerned because you have a steep drive way or find yourself in low ground clearance situations frequently, you may consider using the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7350 which is a concealed cross tube so it does sit up a bit higher then the other options. You will gain around 2" more of ground clearance with this option compared to the Draw-Tite. The great thing about the concealed cross tube is the only part of the hitch that is visible once installed is the receiver.
