Question:

Hi, I have a 2021 mazda 3 turbo hatchback with AWD. This has dual exhaust. Do you know if this hitch will fit on this vehicle?

Expert Reply:

The Draw-Tite Class I hitch, part # 24984 is a fit for all models of the 2021 Mazda 3 according to Draw-Tite. Usually, the on the more sporty models of small cars, the dual exhaust can present a fit problem, but as you can see in the linked installation instructions as well as the provided photo, the hitch fits perfectly with a dual-exhaust equipped vehicle. The receiver tube is hard to see, so I've circled it in red.

If you'll be using the hitch for light duty towing, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like part # 118808, a ball mount like # 3593, a hitch pin like # PC2 and for a trailer ball, # 19256 for a 1-7/8 or # 19258 for a 2 inch ball.

In addition to the installation instructions for the hitch, I'd also linked to the instructions for the trailer wiring harness.
