Hey John, thanks for reaching out. With the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e77ZV installed on a 2026 Toyota Camry (congrats on the new car btw), you will lose approximately 2" of ground clearance. I actually have a similar hitch on my 2020 Camry SE and it does ride a bit low, but it hasn't been a problem yet. Our roads in Missouri are pretty flat though.

As far as installation, we can always do it for you at our shop here in Wentzville, MO. If that is too far for you, we should have an installer in your area. I've included a link below to our installer locator. Just enter your zip code and it will show you all our installers and dealers nearest you.

What will you be using the hitch for? Are there a lot of steep roads or driveways in your area?
