To tow the rental trailer you mentioned level you'll need a ball mount that has a 4 inch rise with the Draw Tite hitch part # 75758 that you referenced. So for that we have the Curt # C45070 which would work well. Then for a hitch ball you'll want the part # 63845 for a 2 inch ball

Draw-Tite has been around a lot longer than Curt, but both make a high quality product, you can't go wrong either way. If your CX-5 has a Diesel motor, you'll use the Draw-Tite Class III hitch, part #DR44FR which is the only fit offered. If…
