Question:

I want to purchase this rack, TH903202, to carry 2 e-bikes. I have 2 questions I hope you can answer. First, I see you have one available that is used Like New. Is it complete and in good condition? Second, I have a 2021 Mazda CX-5 that will require a trailer hitch. Which would you recommend if I intend to only carry the bikes. Thanks!

The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202 is a great bike rack that makes transporting e-bikes a lot easier than you would find with a lot of other bike racks. Any time we have a used product to sell we put the condition in the description. The one you're talking about is in like new condition with some possible damage to the packaging and/or minor cosmetic blemishes.

Then for a trailer hitch I highly recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98902 for your 2021 Mazda CX-5 for a few reasons; it features the hidden crosstube so only the receiver is visible, and the protective coating is a matte back coat which not only looks a bit more sleek but is also more durable than the classic glossy black finish that you see on all of the other hitches.

Attached is a photo so you can see what this hitch looks like installed on a 2021 CX-5 as well as an installation video of the hitch and a review video of the EasyFold XT for you to check out.
