Expert Reply:

Both of the 2 inch hitches we offer for your 2018 Mazda CX-9 will have their hitch opening below the rear bumper of the vehicle. The better option is the Draw Tite part # 76020 over the Curt part # C13284 as the Draw Tite has a better price, slightly higher towing capacities, and a built in trailer wiring bracket. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

For trailer wiring you'd want the # 119250KIT.

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.
