Question:
I have a 2017 Mazda CX-3 and it looks like you have 2 hitches for it. Curt Class1 hitch Part C11418 and the Draw Tite Class 1 hitch Part 24933. It appears the Curt is easier to install but between the two do you guys have a preference? I am just going to be installing a bike rack. Is one better than the other? Do you recommend one over the other?

Helpful Expert Reply:
For a bike rack the Draw Tite part # 24933 is the better choice as Curt requires a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 with their Class I hitches when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack. You'll be much happier with the Draw Tite over the Curt.
