We haven't had a chance to get the ground clearance measurements for the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e35ZR on a Subaru Ascent yet but when we installed the Curt equivalent, part # C13400, on a 2019 Ascent it measured 13-1/4" for the hitch height which would mean ground clearance would be in the ballpark of 11" when taking account for the 2" receiver and thickness of the metal.

This should be about the same for your 2020 Subaru Ascent but there may be some variance depending on wheel/tire size and such.

Attached is our installation video of the Curt option for you to check out.
