Is Ground Clearance An Issue for Trailer Hitch On 2020 Tesla Model 3
Updated 06/01/2022 | Published 05/31/2022 >
Question:
I will be installing your hitch on a new tesla model 3, according to you video the bottom of the hitch will be about 7 1/4inch above the ground, will this tend to bottom out when entering steep driveways etc?

Expert Reply:
The ground clearance of a trailer hitch on a 2020 Tesla Model 3 will be pretty much the same no matter which option you go with as they all install in the same fashion. The location of the receiver tube is dictated by the manufacturer due to where they place the knockout panel. The ground clearance will be limited but there's really nothing you can do about this unless you go with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver part # 391TES317 which has a removable receiver tube that only limits ground clearance while in use. This is what I recommend.
