I still think, with a Chevy Sonic, just use the existing hitch receiver. Moves the tow bar closer to the rear axle and higher.

Hi Don,

Thanks for replying. I wasn't sure of the effect, thanks for explaining and the learning.

I guess I have been lucky to not have needed a drop hitch to begin with.

I tend to agree now that I understand what the OP is trying to achieve.

I would try this first, zero cost. The Sonic is light
