Question:

Can you tell me what trailer hitch receiver has the better clearance from the ground on a 2022 Kia Telluride the etrailer or the curt?

Expert Reply:

Like you mentioned, there are two trailer hitches that fit your 2022 Kia Telluride, the Curt # C13420 and the etrailer # e95ZR, and between the two, the hitch with the best ground clearance as well as the best bumper clearance is the option from Curt:

- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13420

The Curt hitch will have a clearance from the ground to the top of the receiver of approximately 16 inches, while the same measurement for the etrailer will be approximately 15-1/2 inches. So there's not much of a height difference with the Curt hitch.

The only other thing I wanted to mention, in case you were going to use either hitch for towing, as that if you want to add a trailer wiring harness to your '22 Telluride, the correct fit is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # CU94FR.
