Question:

Does this hitch provide more ground clearance than the others? I want my hitch to be less visible and not scrape coming out of a driveway or going over a speed bump.

Expert Reply:

Personally I feel the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e36KR will be the least visible receiver for your 2023 Kia Carnival. The design of this is similar to the Curt # C67ER but uses a matte black finish allowing it to blend in better with the factory trim. The Draw-Tite # DT34GR you found I feel will be the receiver most likely to drag on the driveway as it uses a straight square cross tube which sits back further on the ends than our etrailer and the curt options.

We do offer the Roadmaster Rollaway Trailer Hitch Protector # RM-050 you can use if you find yourself scraping the ground when loaded.
