• 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.

  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.
