We just bought a 2012 Quest S and had the dealership put a trailer hitch on it to pull our camper. The problem is that the hitch mount is very low, less than 6 inches clearance to the ground, and it now scrubs the ground when going over dips, etc.

The dealership says that the mount will not go any higher.

Any suggestions?

I have put a CURT hitch on my 2011. It does sit a bit low. I am confused because the OEM hitch suppose to mount higher and I think I have more then 6" clearance :confused:
I have gotten used to paying attention driving over dips etc. Still scrape the bottom every now and then.

these minivans aren't really SUVs w/ higher ground clearance... the stance is to be as low as a car, even in my 2002 model

i'm installing an aftermarket one in the late spring for just hauling bikes to the park...
