I notice some transition up from the rear wheel to the hitch while some start to transition half way then more abruptly to the hitch. It does not appear to be a problem on the sprinter chassis with a longer wheel base and less overhang.
Tail drag is less about overall ground clearance (which is pretty much the same for most class C's, since the lowest point is under the axle), but rather the departure angle--the maximum angle up from the bottom of the rear tires to the bumper without encountering anything. My motorhome has significantly more ground clearance than my car, but it is vastly more likely to scrape the tail end and more likely to be high-pointed by a railroad crossing or similar short, fairly steep little hill.
