Question:

I noticed some hitches have install videos. Is there an install video for the 2014 mazda 3? Or is there a video that would be similar to that install? Thanks!

Expert Reply:

We have not yet had the opportunity to install a hitch on a 2013 or 2014 Mazda 3, so we don't have any video footage of a hitch install.

If you click on the provided link, you can see a copy of the instructions that includes some full-color photos. I've looked over the install procedure, and it doesn't look too involved. I'll link you to some help articles that will assist with the installation, including how to use a fish wire, and how to lower the exhaust from the exhaust hangers.

If you'll be using the hitch for light duty towing, you might also need the following equipment:

Trailer wiring harness, part # 118405 for a Mazda 3 without LED taillights or # C55567 for vehicles with LED taillights
Ball mount # C45521
1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # A-80 or # A-82 for a 2 inch ball
