Hitch and Cargo Carrier/Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Mazda CX-5

Question:

Hello there, I was wondering if I purchased: Item: C18153 24x60 Curt Carrier for 2” Hitches-Steal- Folding 500 lbs for my 2016 Mazda CX 5 IF Would I be able to use this carrier as a “bike carrier” also or - or would it be in my best interest to merely purchase one? ?? Thank you,

I have a great solution for you to carry a bike rack and a cargo carrier in a 2 inch hitch like the # 76138 which is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Mazda CX-5, but it's not the Curt carrier you mentioned.

Instead you'd want the Hollywood Racks Bike Rack and Cargo Carrier # HR1400Z-85. This comes with a cargo carrier and a bike rack that you can either run together or separately depending on what you need. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.
