Hey Lenny, when we installed the Draw Tite hitch part # DT85gr on a similar Kia EV6 we found that the top of the hitch opening measured 10-1/2 inches from the ground.

Thanks Jameson! FYI: I installed this on my 2023 Kia EV6 GT-Line and it didnt fit properly but I made it work. The reverse light and design of the low bumper/facia is different on my model than the one in your video review (which was extremely helpful!). I think the Curt hitch you also recommend would have worked better because the horizontal main tube of the hitch is straight and therefore would be set back (more towards front of car) and clear the reverse light connector. I've purchased 3 hitches from you over the years and this was the first hiccup. Love all the supporting info you provide! Thanks again, -Lenny
