The distance from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver tube on the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76138 while installed on a 2018 Mazda CX-5 is around 12-1/2". If you wanted to know what the distance is from the ground to the bottom of the collar on the receiver tube opening then you would subtract around 2-1/2" which would bring the ground clearance measurement to around 10". Please note that these measurements will not be exact as they can vary slightly based on tire size and the amount of cargo in the vehicle.

I have attached a graphic on the ground clearance measurement as well as an install video for you.

Answer 4

A support strap, like part #18050, is required by warranty on many Curt trailer hitch receivers for non-towing applications. However, the Curt Class III hitch for a 2017 Mazda CX-5, part #C13315, does not have this requirement. I verified with Curt…

Answer 5

It seems that the person you spoke with is confused. A stabilization strap and an anti-rattle bolt do not serve the same purpose. A stabilization strap helps support the non-trailer load on the hitch, while an anti-rattle bolt helps to eliminate the…

Since the Draw Tite Hitch part #76138 that fits your 2021 Mazda CX-5 has a slightly higher towing capacity than the Curt #C13315 it would be my recommendation as best option. If you were looking for trailer wiring too the Tekonsha kit part #118746 is…

The Curt #C13315 and the Draw Tite part #76138 for your 2019 Mazda CX-5 are both really great options that would both work great for you, but if I had to pick one over the other I would go with the Curt as it is a little less visible at the rear of…

Answer 11

Draw-Tite has been around a lot longer than Curt, but both make a high quality product, you can't go wrong either way. If your CX-5 has a Diesel motor, you'll use the Draw-Tite Class III hitch, part #DR44FR which is the only fit offered. If…
