well according to edmunds a 2 wheel drive is 73.6" high with 7.4" of ground clearance and a 4 wheel drive is 75.3" high also with 7.4" of ground clearence, but i don't know 2wd's always seemed so much lower, maybe this is something they changed in recent years.

2wd's are lower because they are meant to be pavement queens which don't need additional clearance. it also keeps the mpg's higher having the nose raked down lower too as well as help old people in/out easier...lol
And the above figures are for the basic tire packages. Go with 20's that have 33's on them and it adds another 1" to the overall height.
