Question:

Dear Sir/Madam, I am interested to buy a combination of a trailer hitch and a bike rack. I own a 2014 Mazda iGT Sedan. Will this combination below works for my car? Curt Trailer Hitch C11377 Bike Hitch S63360

Expert Reply:

The Curt # C11377 would indeed be compatible with your Mazda 3, but when Curt Class I hitches are used with non trailer loads like a bike rack, Curt's warranty requirements specify that a stabilizing strap like # 18050 be used. Rather than needing to fool with a strap, I'd recommend you go with the Draw-Tite # 24912 that has no such requirement.

The Swagman Trailhead bike rack you referred to, part # S63360 would work great with the hitch.
