Question:
Curt C23WR or Draw-Tite DT48GR hitch for 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz: How much higher off the ground is the bottom of the receiver tube on the Curt? I need as much ground clearance as possible.

Hey Frederick. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C23WR and the Draw-Tite Hitch item # DT48GR are almost identical and are both confirmed to fit the 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz. The differences between the two hitches are that the Curt is made in the USA and the Draw-Tite has a built in tab to mount a 4-way or 7-way wiring bracket. The bottom of the receiver for both sits 10-3/4" above the ground.
I recommend going with the Curt Hitch item # C23WR because of the better price point as of 04/24/2025. We actually did an installation video on a 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz that I linked below.
What do you plan on using the hitch for?
