Ground Clearance of Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2017 Infiniti QX70
Updated 09/20/2020 | Published 09/16/2020
Question:
I have a 2017 QX70 that I want to put a trailer hitch on. I’m worried the clearance won’t be high enough when I’m backing out of my driveway. Can you tell me what the clearance height is? Thanks

You should not have any issues with the ground clearance with a trailer hitch for your 2017 Infiniti QX70.
When we test-fit the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13554 on this same vehicle, it measured 13 inches from the top of the receiver to the ground, which is about 11 inches from the bottom of the receiver to the ground. That is a fairly standard height so unless you have quite a significant decline, there won't be an issue.
Along with the hitch, if you plan on towing with your Infiniti you'll need a wiring harness, the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM11140805.
I have added links below to video installs for you to check out as well of the harness and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13554.
