Expert Reply:
When it comes to installing a trailer hitch on your 2010 Mazda CX-9 I recommend The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2 inch # e98AR. This hitch will work perfect with your Thule Trailway bike rack.
The hitch has a tongue weight up to 400 pounds. The hitch has a bolt-on installation with no welding required and has a matte black powder coat finish over a protective base coat that offers a superior rust resistance.
To keep your bike rack snug and locked onto the hitch during travel The Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2 would work well for you. This system has an integrated dust cover that keeps the lock clean. This lock will work on both 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch Thule hitch mounted racks. It has a 1/2 inch pin diameter with an overall pin length of 4-1/2 inches.
