Question:
Hello, in reading the reviews between the Curt, Hidden Hitch, and Draw-Tite Class 3 Receiver Hitches for my Mazda CX-9, they are all very highly rated/reviewed. With the Curt brand being less than one, and less than the other, I am trying to understand if there is any reason/benefit to spending the additional ~$ when the Curt brand seems to be very good? Regards

For your 2008 Mazda CX-9 the Curt Hitch part # 13575 is a great hitch that has been confirmed as a fit. You really can't beat the price and since there is not advantage that the hitches have over it I would recommend you go with it.
I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring you would want the part # 56016.
