Arrived on time in Oahu, Hawaii. It perfectly fits my 2024 S Preferred. Excellent product. Took me less than an hour to install it. Had a hard time to insert the nuts. Need something to hold the hitch receiver. Will order bike rack next. Thank you so much ETrailer.



by:

Very easy to install on my CX50. Holes aligned perfectly. Had my son help me lift in to place, process took 25 minutes and that included removing/altering some plastic trim. Hitch looks to be very strong and rugged. We will be using for our 4 place MTB rack. Love the hidden frame design that keeps factory ground clearances.

Great product that was easy to install. The installation video on the website was helpful and did not require major changes or disassembly of parts under my Mazda. Thanks!

Great hitch for ‘23 Mazda CX50. Installed solo by negotiating into position with a floor jack. Good lineup of fastener holes to body points. Really like the hidden appearance. Working well with our hitch/rack. Been pleased so far with Curt products, recommend.

Very easy to install. Looks like it belongs on my Mazda CX-50 and fits like a glove. Took me longer to remove the Mazda lower trim piece below the bumper than rest of the installation. Had no problems installing this by myself, but next time I would have a second person to help hold hitch into place. No special tools needed (19mm socket and #2 Philips screwdriver), did not require doing any modifications to the vehicle or the hitch to have fit. Very satisfied with this hitch, very good welds and paint. You can't go wrong with purchasing this hitch for the Mazda CX-50.

2025 Mazda CX-50

These are great hitch receivers but they’re packaged like complete crap! It’s gonna get damaged during shipping guaranteed. It’ll be half hanging out of the box like mine was. So long story short don’t expect your new hitch receiver to look new on your doorstep. I read other reviews before ordering and others said the same but I thought I would be the exception and I was not. Support local businesses, atleast you’ll see what you bought beforehand. Just my experience, good luck.

I am sorry it arrived that way. It really is the nature of the beast when it comes to shipping big chunks of metal like this. BUT -- please let us know if anything turns up missing or is damaged and we will get right on it!

I bought this hitch for my Mazda cx50. The install was straight forward and I completed it in my driveway. I bought this primarily to haul my bike rack around and it has worked well.

Great hitch, excellent installation ins tructions.

Perfect fit.



by:

Fits like a glove! The only pain was trying to line up the holes myself; didn’t have a helper. The installation is pretty straightforward. Excited to use the hitch to haul my mtn bike this weekend!



by:

Installation was relatively easy. I did it by myself. The fit to the car frame was a little tight. After positioning it in place with a dead blow hammer, it stayed in place while I put the bolts in.



by:

Everything installed relatively easy as I hoped it would, as I did the install by myself, bolted right on. The fitment and quality of the hitch is excellent, pleased with the end result. A solid purchase! Thank you.

Excellent fit on my new 2024 Mazda CX-50. Owner friendly installation process with typical home garage tools. Torque wrench required to complete installation. One helper makes job go smoothly after prep completed. Dealer video provides all the info needed for hassle free install.

Hitch fits perfect for new Mazda CX50. Great quality, feels very sturdy. Nice finish. Would definitely recommend.

The box in which it was delivered though was damaged. The hitch had made holes in the box and the hitch was sticking out. Fortunately, the hitch was in perfect condition. Would be a good idea to ship in wood box.

Just purchased a 13510 Curt hitch to fit a 2023 Mazda CX-50. When I unboxed the trailer hitch I was a bit concerned when I didn't instantly see the bolts and instructions, but we found them securely taped to the hitch. After reading the instructions, I verified what I read and saw in the instruction was what was actually under the car. When we bought the hitch we were told that the installation would take about 45 minutes. Well, my wife usually quadruples the time that I give her when I go to work on a car. I am sure you guys can relate to this! However, it actually only took 45 minutes to complete the project. Not only is the product good looking, but it fits perfectly. There is no way for a person to bang their leg on the receiver as it lies under the curvature of the bumper.

  • Is There A Trailer Hitch For 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid?
    Hello Rob, thanks for getting in touch. The hitches we offer for the 2025 Mazda CX-50 non-hybrid will NOT fit the hybrid model. For example, the Curt Class 3 Hitch # C38BR will fit all models of the 2025 CX-50 excluding the hybrid model. I was able to verify this with the manufacturer. There is no hitch for the hybrid model at this time.

    The best hitch for your 2023 Mazda CX-50 is the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C38BR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Mazda with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It is made in the USA and has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts behind the rear bumper cover leaving only the 2" receiver visible. This not only looks better but it also helps with ground clearance. I have...

  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver For Ground Clearance On a 2023 Mazda CX-50
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C27DR is currently the receiver with the best ground clearance for your 2023 Mazda CX-50.This receiver has a 1-1/4" receiver moving it just slightly higher than the 2" Receiver # C38BR which is also manufactured by Curt. I recommend installing the Wiring Harness # C45FV when you install the receiver. This will provide you with a 4-way connector for connecting to the tail lights on most small trailers you might pull.

    Currently the Vehicle Wiring Harness # C45FV is the only custom fit wiring harness available for your 2023 Mazda CX-50. This harness is for a 4-way flat connector that will fit most of the smaller trailers you may tow. This will likely be the most useful wiring as I see your CX-50 has a maximum towing capacity of 2,000lbs to 3,500lbs depending on your exact factory options. You can always check with your dealer to determine your exact towing capacity. A Mounting Bracket # C58001 will allow...

    Yes, both Class II # C27DR and Class III # C38BR Curt hitches that fit your 2024 Mazda CX-50 install in the same way. I recommend going with the Class III option because it has higher weight ratings as well as a larger 2" hitch receiver so it's compatible with a wider variety of accessories. We've actually had the chance to install this on a 2024 CX-50 so I'm linking that installation video as well as a photo of the finish product for your reference.
