Hey Lee, I am assuming you are referring to a ground clearance figure. The etrailer hitch part # e98912 would reduce the ground clearance at the center of the rear of your vehicle by about 2 inches but on this vehicle normally the ground clearance is more like 12 inches with this hitch installed so maybe I am not understanding your question.

Hey Lee, how did things turn out with the hitch on your Crosstrek Wilderness? Did the clearance end up being close to what you expected? Your update could make it easier for others checking fit on the same vehicle.
