Features to know about

Add Real Utility for Everyday Hauling: Class III Strength and 2" Receiver

This hitch opens up your vehicle to all kinds of light and moderate towing. With a Class III rating, a maximum gross trailer weight of 4,000 lbs, and a maximum tongue weight of 600 lbs, it’s perfect for small trailers, campers, and utility loads. The 2" x 2" receiver gives you the versatility to mount bike racks, cargo carriers, or ball mounts without any adapters. Whether you’re hauling a trailer or loading bikes for the weekend, it’s built for dependable strength every time you hook up.

Get the Job Done Without the Hassle: Bolt-On Installation and Included Hardware

You don’t need a lift or welding gear to install this hitch. It’s a fully welded design that bolts onto your vehicle’s frame with no drilling required. Everything you need is in the box — complete hardware kit and installation instructions — so you can mount it in your driveway with basic tools. The precision, robotic welding ensures everything lines up exactly where it should, making installation a straightforward DIY project.

Stand Up to the Elements: Matte Black Powder Coat Finish

The sturdy steel construction is finished with a matte black powder coat over a protective base coat for superior rust resistance. This rugged coating doesn’t just protect against corrosion — it also hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than glossy finishes. The result is a hitch that keeps its clean, understated look even after years of use while standing up to road grime and weather.

Keep It Versatile for Future Towing Needs: Compatible With Weight Distribution Systems

If you want added stability when towing heavier loads within its limits, this hitch maintains its full strength when used with weight distribution. The maximum GTW remains 4,000 lbs and maximum TW stays at 600 lbs when paired with a compatible system. That gives you flexibility to adjust your setup later without changing out your hitch.

My hitch arrived a day early. Installation was just like instructions showed. Finish was perfect. Well built



by:

Easy install. Good quality.



by:

Very nice product, packaged well, easy install.



by:

Ordering was easy, delivery was great, the product fit just as expected. Great service.



by:

Great customer service. I told William what I was going to be pulling he made sure I had everything I needed. Easy to install just watch the video had it completed in about one hour. Thanks again William



by:

Perfect fit, great video instructions.



by:

Having an installation video to watch of the same hitch and vehicle was so helpful. Better than paying the dealership $700 for a hitch receiver.



by:

The hitch was delivered quickly exactly when it was supposed to. It arrived in good shape and with the help of the video tutorial I was happy to say I was able to install this myself in a little over an hour (most of that time was spent fiddling around with plastic clips on my bumper). The actual installation of the hitch was pretty simple, I just needed one other person to help hold it in place while bolting it on. It fits exactly how it should and looks as good as a receiver hitch can. The matte black powder coat also seems high quality; hopefully it holds up well over time!



by:

Is the best it was my first experience and am soo happy good quality I used it to get rack for my bike I would highly recommend this etrailer hitch great quality it’s been year now to it



by:

Super easy install. Great instructions. Took longer to get tools out and then put away after than it did to install. Since I don’t have a lift I used ramps (and a jack stand for safety). Plenty of room to work. I’ve done 4 hitches now from etrailer and this was by far the easiest. Always a perfect fit!



by:

Etrailer needs to work on packaging the hitch properly to avoid damage to both the equipment and scratching floors. The hitch itself is mostly fine. It’s scuffed but it’s a hitch so I’m not worried about it. The box was pretty beat up and part of the hitch broke through the box, scratching our wood floors as it was brought into the house.



by:

Arrived quickly, just before a road trip. Install was straight forward and not complicated. Happy with the puchase!

Glad the process was a smooth one! :) Where are you headed on your road trip?



by:

Cannot give an opinion since the hardware is missing so we cannot install it. The box was torn open when delivered. The UPS driver said he thought something might be missing. Once you send us the missing hardware we will give a review.

Hey Jacklyn! I am sorry the hitch arrived that way. Just wanted to check and see if you have already checked the hitch receiver for the hardware because a lot of times that is where they pack it to keep it safe in situations like this. If its not there we will definitely get some replacements headed your way!

Thank you for replacing the missing hardware. It works perfect for our use. Easy installation per our mechanic. Have recommended you to others. Thanks again.



by:

Just installed this receiver today; haven’t actually used it yet. So far, the service from etrailer has been excellent. Agent was very communicative and the receiver arrived exactly as expected. Installation instructions and the video were clear and accurate. No problems. I’d recommend etrailer to others!



by:

I have not installed yet just received but the quality looks and feels great! I hope it last a really long time. I mitgh post pictures later after the installed with the new cargo carrier that I just got.

We have used this trailer hitch a few times this past year for two e-bikes that together weigh about 200 lb. They were easy to attach and stayed very secure. Highly recommend!

@Lauren thanks for the feedback and we appreciate you choosing etrailer!

This is my third hitch from etrailer, and I've never been disappointed. The hitch for my Mazda arrived in 3 days and in perfect condition - nothing poking through the box, and with no scrapes or other damage to the hitch. Installation was easy - took about 45 minutes overall with a helper at the end to assist raising the hitch into position. The installation videos are great, and the fish wires for the hardware are ingenious. For my first hitch, I did invest in a pair of muffler hanger pliers, and they have proven to be very helpful since all three of my hitches have required lowering the exhaust - the pliers make quick work of removing the rubber isolators. Backing the rear of the car onto some ramps provided plenty of room to work. We use our hitch solely for hauling our bikes, and our carrier requires a 2" receiver. The Mazda factory hitch is only a Class II (1-1/4") and consists of a bunch of separate pieces that have to be bolted together, not to mention a cutout that has to be made in the bumper for the receiver. The etrailer hitch best met my needs - it's solidly made and very clean looking, almost entirely hidden behind the bumper, with only the receiver showing - even that fits tight against the bottom of the bumper. Hopefully, I'll be keeping this car for a while, but if I ever need another hitch, I'll be back!

Installation was very straightforward, the videos definitely are helpful as well. Thanks to Kelly for the great followup.

  • Trailer Hitch And Bike Rack Recommendation For A 2020 Mazda CX-9
    Hey Phil, you came to the right place, and I am happy to help. Firstly, as far as the trailer hitch for your 2020 Mazda CX-9, I recommend the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e87AR. This has a 2" receiver which is very common. This means you will have a lot of great bike rack options available to you. Also, the 2" receiver is standard, and if you do get another vehicle down the line, you can install a new hitch and use the same bike rack. Just keep in mind that the 2" receiver is used mainly...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Mazda CX-9
    No, it doesn't but I have a less expensive one that does. For your 2023 Mazda CX-9 you will want the Draw-Tite Hitch item # 76020. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Mazda with included hardware. I really like this hitch because it mounts behind the rear bumper cover leaving only the 2" receiver visible. It also has a built in tab that makes it easy to connect a wiring harness using the Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat item # 18144. If you are planning on towing you will also need...

  • Will the etrailer Hitch # e87AR Get in the Way of My Hands Free Tailgate Kick Sensor?
    Hello Zack, Great question, we get this question quite often about the hitches. With any aftermarket hitch there is the possibility of it covering the sensor the hands-free tailgate. The good news is that you will still be able to use the sensor, but you might have to move your foot to the side of the receiver to find that "sweet spot." I attached a video where my buddy Ryan did an install for the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e87AR on a 2021 Mazda CX-9, if you skip ahead to exactly...

  • Does The Underbody Panel Get Reinstalled After Installing A Trailer Hitch On A 2019 Mazda CX-9
    The underbody panel you're referring to can be placed back on, but you'll have to trim it around the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit # e87AR in order to get it to fit. It is a bit challenging with this vehicle so most people would just leave it off. It won't hurt anything if you do decide to leave it off.

  • Does etrailer Hitch for Mazda CX-9 have Same Dimensions as Curt Hitch
    Hey Jim, I am going to let you in on an little secret...so the etrailer hitches like the part # e87AR are basically the exact same as the Curt hitches as they are made by same company. Only difference is the powder coat is a matte finish as opposed to a gloss finish like the Curts. So all of the dimensions are the exact same.

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2018 Mazda CX-9
    In order to tow a trailer with a 2018 Mazda CX-9 you'll first need to start with a trailer hitch and for this I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e87AR which offers a direct bolt-on fit. This trailer hitch has a hidden design which will offer the best overall appearance. It also has a 2" opening with class III rating so it will be great for towing or hitch mounted accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. In order to complete your towing setup you'll also need...

  • Recommended Anti-Rattle Device Compatible w/ etrailer Hitches
    I have a solution for you but the Draw Tite QSP anti rattle item # 63080 you referenced can only be used on Draw Tite hitches. For a similar option you will want to use the Hitch Receiver Immobilizer II item # BX88224 which can be used on etrailer hitches like the item # e87AR.

  • What Size Bolt Leader/Fish Wire Does etrailer Hitch for 2021 Mazda CX-9 Use
    The etrailer hitch part # e87AR that you referenced actually comes with 4 bolt leaders so they wouldn't need to be supplied. The bolts are 1/2 inch though so for a replacement bolt leader you'd want the part # C58400.
