Hi Kent!
Installing the Curt Hitch # C74MJ on your 2024 Mazda CX-90 doesn't actually look like it will lower your ground clearance at all. The measurement from the ground to the inside top of the receiver will be 16" and with the hitch being a 2" receiver, the bottom would be right at 14" (probably closer to 13-3/4"). The lowest part of your vehicle is 8", so you won't be changing that with the install. If you look at the picture I included, you can see what I mean.
What are you planning on using this hitch for?
