Hey JoeSaint,

The vast majority of unmodified pickups and some SUVs set about two inches high in the rear when empty. This is so the vehicles rear end will not be excessively low when the truck is loaded, because it has a cargo area it is a bit different than a car.

i have an observation about tow vehicles. I have a GMC Terrain, and when you look at it from the side, the rear end sits a few inches higher than the front. So when I hook up my 171 and loaded truck it sits just about perfectly level. When I see other vehicles, a lot of them seem to sit just level BEFORE you would ever hook up their trailers. Which in turn has the tow vehicle “squatting” lower than level? Are there more SUV’s that have this higher stance to start with?
