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... view full answer...
Hey Mark, officially I have to recommend you do not use a vertical bike rack with the Curt hitch part # C33MJ even though you said you'd be at only about half it's tongue weight capacity. The issue is the vertical racks put quite a bit more leverage on the hitch since they hold the bikes so high.
For what it's worth the Draw Tite hitch part # DT67YR that fits your CX-50 does not have this same exclusion so it could be used instead. view full answer...
Actually, the correct hitch for the sedan model of the 2019 Mazda 3 is part # 24982 instead of part # 24914. It's also a 1-1/4 inch Class I hitch like the first Draw-Tite you mentioned.
I've attached a picture that shows it installed for you. As well as a link to the install details view full answer...
The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to 3,500 lbs in GTW and up to 525 lbs in TW. Class III, on the other hand, have a 2 inch receiver and have up to 8,000 lbs GTW and 800 lbs TW. I will attach a help article that goes in to more detail for you.

Hey Mike, so I checked with Curt and their hitch part number 13630 which is our part number # C33MJ does fit the 2025 Mazda CX-50 hybrid. Curt says this actually fits all models of the vehicle actually. What are you planning on using the hitch for? view full answer...
Absolutely!
Starting with the trailer hitch for your 2020 Mazda 3 Hatchback, the Curt Hitch # C98BR will work perfectly. This will line right up to existing holes in the frame rails for a simple bolt-on (no-drill) installation and features a 200 pound tongue weight capacity.
I have attached the written installation manual below that you can look through as well. All the necessary hardware is included.
Then for a Class I rated bike rack I highly recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU74FR.... view full answer...
Hello Ric, thanks for reaching out. The only hitch we have confirmed to fit the 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid is the Curt # C33MJ. We have confirmed with Curt that this will fit the Hybrid model. We have also heard back from a few of our own customers who have successfully installed it on the Hybrid model. This hitch has a 2" receiver and a 3,500 lb towing capacity.
If you intend to tow a trailer, you will also need the Curt T-Connector # C45FV.

I have a brake controller recommendation but at this time it doesn't look like we (or our manufacturers) have any information or at least an adapter harness to fit with the wiring you have under the dashboard on your 2023 Mazda CX-50.
I recommend checking out the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR for your application because the only part of the controller that will be visible is the small control knob - this not only gives... view full answer...
I do have a couple options for you but Class I hitches like the Draw-Tite Class I Sport Frame part # 24773 that fits the 2008 Mazda 5 are designed to only carry 2 bikes because of it's limited tongue weight rating. The weight of the bikes and bike rack is all considered tongue weight on the hitch and putting 4 bikes on a rack in a Class I hitch would create too much leverage and possibly damage the hitch or vehicle. With that being said, I recommend to get a 2 bike rack for the Class I... view full answer...
When we installed the Draw Tite hitch part # 76020 on a 2016 Mazda CX-9 we found that there was a distance of 6 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the furthest point out on the rear bumper.
We used to carry the Yakima SwingDaddy that you mentioned and it had a distance of 6 inches from it's pin hole to the back of the knob for the swing mechanism. So you'd most likely have some contact there.

To use the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 your vehicle only needs 12 volt, ground, and turn signals connected to its 7-way socket. What this means is you do not need the brake signal from the 7-way.
For example, if you used a 4-to-7 way adapter such as # 30717, there will not be an output wire from the Echo to connect to, so you could simply tie that wire off, as you can see by the accompanying diagram.
Apart from that the only other thing required is that your... view full answer...
To find the correct brake light switch wire on your 2017 Mazda CX-5 you will need to use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 and find the wire that only shows power when the brake pedal is depressed; that will be the correct wire to hook up.
To install a brake controller like the best-selling Prodigy P3 # 90195 on your 2017 Mazda CX-5 you first need to install Wiring Harness # 118746 to get a 4-way connector and as you mentioned, you'll also need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer... view full answer...
I'm not sure how the OEM hitch installs on your 2020 Mazda CX-5, but the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98902 requires zero trimming of the bumper. It is designed to fit around the muffler and the receiver hangs just below your bumper as you can see in the attached photo.
We actually had the chance to install this hitch on a 2020 CX-5 so you can check that out as well. If you let me know what you plan on using the hitch for I can make some recommendations for you. view full answer...
I can absolutely confirm for you that the Yakima FullBack trunk-mounted bike rack will fit your 2020 Mazda CX-30.
I confirmed with Yakima that both the 2-bike and 3-bike versions are a fit for your 2020 CX-30:
- Yakima FullBack 2-Bike Rack # Y02634
- Yakima FullBack 3-Bike Rack # Y02633

Hey Jim, thanks for reaching out!
I recommend going with the Kuat Class 4 V2 Kayak Roof Rack which comes in Gray # KU33VR as well as Black # KU53VR.
This kayak carrier system looks really sleek when folded in the "stored" position, but it's also the only J-Style cradle that comes with T-Slot mounting hardware like what you're wanting to use.

The Curt hitches part # C13127 and # C13315 are both a fit for your 2016 Mazda CX-5 whether it's the mid year update or the older style 2016 model. At first one hitch was designed to fit the newer and older model but then the figured out they both fit both models.
So essentially you have two similar hitches that install differently for the same vehicle with slightly different capacities.
The part # C13315 has the higher capacities at 600 lbs tongue weight and 4k total trailer weight and... view full answer...
Hi Cameron!
For your 2025 Mazda 3 Sedan, I prefer the Curt # C44DR over the Draw-Tite # 24982. They are almost identical and have the same weight capacities, but Curt is made in America and Draw-Tite is not. This pretty much always pushed me to the Curt hitches. Plus I have just found them to be nicer.
When we installed the Curt on a 25 Mazda 3 Sedan, we found the hitch height to be 12" (measured from the ground to the inside top of the receiver opening). We haven't had the chance to... view full answer...
For your application I recommend going with a Thule WingBar Evo roof rack because they look sleek and are easier to install than most other roof racks. The correct parts depends on if your 2022 Mazda CX-5 has a bare roof or the flush mount rails:
Bare Roof
53" WingBar Evo Crossbars - Black # TH711420 or Silver # TH711400
Evo Clamp Feet - # TH710501
Fit Kit - # TH145079
Lock Kit - # TH450400 (optional)
Flush Rails
47" WingBar Evo Crossbars - Black # TH711220 or Silver # TH711200

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. view full answer...
