Features to know about

Get More Out of Every Trip: Class III Strength with a 2" Receiver

This Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class III - 2" is built for everyday utility and weekend towing. With a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and a tongue weight rating of 500 lbs (or up to 5,500 lbs GTW and 550 lbs TW when used with weight distribution), it’s ready for small campers, boats, utility trailers, and bike racks. The sturdy square-tube design and concealed cross tube keep things strong while maintaining clearance for smooth travel.

Simple Bolt-On Install: No Welding or Modifications Needed

There’s no need for a lift or special tools. This hitch bolts right to the frame using existing attachment points. The fully welded construction means no extra assembly, and all the hardware needed comes in the box. It’s designed for an easy DIY install—just line it up, bolt it in, and you’re set to tow or haul.

Built to Last: Powder-Coated Steel That Fights Corrosion

The gloss black powder coat finish is applied over a protective base coat to stand up to rust, road debris, and weather. Precision robotic welding adds strength and ensures a perfect fit every time, so once this hitch is on, it’s built to stay put and perform for years of towing and hauling.

Clean Look That Blends In: Concealed Cross Tube Design

When you’re not towing, the hitch doesn’t take over your vehicle’s rear end. Its concealed cross tube keeps the setup neat with only the 2" receiver visible below the bumper. It’s a simple, factory-like appearance that fits well with cargo carriers, bike racks, or any other accessory you use day-to-day.

Hitch had a few areas that were scratched / scraped to bare metal. You need to package these better.



by:

This was a very efficient company with very fast delivery. I've already got the hitch installed and it fit perfectly.



by:

Fit perfectly



by:

What's the point of powder coating the thing if you're not going to adequately package it for shipment? My hitch arrived pretty banged up with lots of exposed metal to rust.



by:

Installed as the video showed with no s urprises.



by:

Arrived on time, excellent fit, great quality. Paper instructions were supplemented well with YouTube tutorial for my specific vehicle, and was an easy installation as a result.

Those are actually some great photos -- thanks for sending them in! The install looks flawless. What will you be towing? Bike rack? Kayak trailer perhaps?

Easy to install



by:

Easy installation. Super quick delivery.



by:

Perfect fit, although the techs at Pepboys had trouble understanding the video instructions...Make sure you pair this with an adjustable ball hitch as the Mazda cx 90 rides very low



by:

Took 4 hours to install on a lift without breaking anything. Would rather take the time for the install than rushing through it.



by:

Arrived in two days. Used the install video he sent us the link to. Worked great, got it installed in under an hour!



by:

Jacob did the work together with me at my garage and everything happened fine. We had some difficulties to adjust the right screw and he did not rest until we close the installation. The Hitch is working perfectly



by:

Great hitch fits perfect on 2025 CX-70 Phev.

However
video instructions on this are wrong at 7:00. Those clips slide out they do not need pulled. You will break them and not be able to reinstall them if you do that. Rest of the video is great. Probably took about an hour to install.



by:

Shipper scuffed it up a bit dragging it around so I hit it was a little paint before installing. Install instructions were good, but there's a little clip you have to take out of the bumper support and instructions have you use pliers to twist it. You can use a socket extension inside the clip and not break it. I broke mine with the pliers but realized you could use the socket extension when I put it back in.

Thanks for that tip, Scott. That will definitely help someone (several someones) successfully complete their install in the future!



by:

I want to rate this as 5-star excellent, EXCEPT, the hitch receiver was not shipped in a box, but wrapped in plastic and tape. While the entire piece is nicely powder coated, the top of the receiver was dinged up from the shipping process, unfortunately in the most noticeable place.

The install guide was very good and the installation went well.. about an hour with a friend. The order process was great and the shipping was fast. The receiver looks great on the CX-70. I strongly recommend this receiver and my *only* complaint was the condition mine was received in.



by:

Always great suff. Quick shipping, great instructions and perfect fit.

  • Comparing Curt Hitches C25FV And C74MJ For 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV
    Hello David, thanks for reaching out. Sounds like you are on the right track here. Both the Curt # C25FV (13568) and # C74MJ (13627) will fit all models of the 2024 CX-90 and this includes the PHEV plug-in hybrid model. This is actually a rare case where Curt offers two different hitches for the same make and model of vehicle. They both have the same weight capacity so the only real difference is now then install. The # C74MJ uses just four bolts that thread into existing weldnuts on the...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2026 Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid
    It sure does Steve, and congrats on your new SUV. The Curt Hitch item # C74MJ does indeed fit the Plug-In Hybrid model of the 2026 Mazda CX-90. The Curt item # C74MJ is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver that comes with all necessary installation hardware. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity and a 500 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like the Curt Hitch item # C74MJ because of how it installs. The entire crosstube is hidden behind your rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver visible....

  • Best Looking Trailer Hitch and Brake Controller Recommendation for 2025 Mazda CX-70
    Hey John, the cleanest brake controller install for your 2025 Mazda CX-70 would be the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED52VR which only puts a small knob on the dash of your vehicle. Since your vehicle does not have the tow package to install it you would first need to install a 4-way kit with the part # C24ZV and then convert it to a 7-way with the part # ETBC7 which also comes with everything needed to wire in a brake controller. Then for a hitch the Curt part # C74MJ is the best option...

  • Will The Curt Trailer Hitch C74MJ Affect The Foot Sensor On A 2024 Mazda CX-90?
    Hi Victor! Will the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C74MJ interfere with the foot sensor? Yes it will. Will it completely negate its use? Absolutely not. I have been doing this for over a decade now and I have never see a hitch make that foot sensor completely not work. You will just need to find that sweet spot on either side of the receiver tube/ball mount (when you have it installed) and the sensor will work as normal. It will probably take a few times to...

  • Trailer Hitch and Two Bike Rack Recommendation for 2024 Mazda CX-90
    Hey Fevicks, for a hitch for your 2024 Mazda CX-90 the Curt hitch part # C74MJ that you referenced would be the best option. As far as bike racks go the Hollywood Racks Destination part # HLY94FR is our most popular option because it's a solid and easy to use two bike rack. Would this rack work for you? What kind of bikes do you have?

  • What Happened to the Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2025 Mazda CX-70 3.3 Turbo S?
    Hi Gary! I can definitely understand the confusion, and you're not missing anything. CURT stopped producing the custom fit wiring harness for the 2025 Mazda CX-70 about a year ago after discovering a design issue, so it was pulled from the market. That's why you won't find a custom plug and play harness on our site anymore. The hitch is easy though. The CURT Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # C74MJ, is the correct fit for your 2025 Mazda CX-70 3.3 Turbo S, so you're good to go there. For...

  • Does Installing Hitch and Trailer Wiring on 2024 Mazda CX-90 Require Trip to the Dealer
    Hey Carlos, installing a hitch on your 2024 Mazda CX-90 like the Curt # C74MJ will not automatically change anything electronically on your vehicle. It doesn't have a way to sense anything like that. Most likely the confusion is related to trailer wiring. Which we have kits that fit your vehicle like the Tekonsha part # TK63DR that do not require any trips to the dealer. This installs by connecting inline with the taillights of the vehicle and also doesn't activate anything in the vehicle's...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV
    Hey Angus. The correct hitch for your 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV is the Curt item # C74MJ. I checked with Curt and this hitch actually fits all models of the 2024 CX-90 including your PHEV. The Curt item # C74MJ is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver that comes with all hardware necessary for installation. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity and a 500 lbs maximum tongue weight. The PHEV models have a lower 3,500 lbs and 350 lbs towing and tongue weight capacity so you will be limited to that....

  • How Much Ground Clearance Will Be Lost When Installing The Curt Hitch C74MJ On 2024 Mazda CX-90?
    Hi Kent! Installing the Curt Hitch # C74MJ on your 2024 Mazda CX-90 doesn't actually look like it will lower your ground clearance at all. The measurement from the ground to the inside top of the receiver will be 16" and with the hitch being a 2" receiver, the bottom would be right at 14" (probably closer to 13-3/4"). The lowest part of your vehicle is 8", so you won't be changing that with the install. If you look at the picture I included, you can see what I mean. What are you planning...

    Yes, it does! The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C74MJ is confirmed to fit the 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV. I checked with Curt and it actually fits all models of the 2024 CX-90. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity and a 500 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like this hitch because the entire crosstube mounts behind the rear bumper. This leaves only the 2" receiver exposed which not only looks better but helps with ground clearance. I have attached...

    Hey Joshua, thanks for reaching out. We do offer a hitch for the 2025 Mazda CX-90 PHEV. For that you'll need the following: - CURT Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C74MJ I double checked with Curt and they confirm this to work with all models of the 2025 CX-90. This includes the plug-in hybrid and PHEV models. That means the mounting points and frame structure are the same, so the PHEV doesn’t change anything from a hitch fitment standpoint.

  • Trailer Hitch and 7-Way Mounting Bracket for 2026 Mazda CX-90
    Hey Mario! The only aftermarket hitch right now for your 2026 CX-90 is the CURT Trailer Hitch Receiver # C74MJ. I'm assuming you added the OEM 7-way to your vehicle, and you're trying to figure out how you would mount it with this hitch. It looks like that OEM 7-way is the Pollak just like # PK36AV. You can use # PK12711U for a mounting bracket if you don't already have one. You can either mount this directly on the bumper, or try to get creative and use # C57202 but you're going to have...
