I just bought a 2019 rebel and wonder what hitch drop you guys are using. I don't have access to a trailer as my boat is in strorage. the measurement to my receiver is 23 inches in normal ride height.

Do u have air suspension. If so it will automatically level out... I say 4inch drop hitch they do have those that are adjustable up and down depending on what height u need

I have Laramie with the off-road package, my receiver is 22”, I pull a tandem axle trailer with 15” wheels (don’t recall the tire size) and a 14” hitch height. 6” drop is perfect, I tried an old 4” ball mount I had and the back of the trailer was to low and would almost drag at times

I pull 4 different size / type of trailers and needed a min of 6" drop in Normal mode and 4 in Aero....so I bought a Weigh Safe WS8-2 KA, adjustable that's capable of 10"up and 8" down.......so I've got everything covered & I can read my tongue weight by scale.

I have a 2019 with no lift. Pulled a couple of UHauls with a 2 inch drop hitch

It all depends on your trailer. You need to measure your truck, then level your trailer on flat ground and measure that. At that point you can subtract the two and get your needed drop.

Here is a good video explaining it. I have an adjustable hitch to accomodate a few different trailers I use.
