Question:
I am looking at buying a hitch from you for my 2015 Mazda 6. I see that you carry 2 hitches. Do you know which of these hitches remains tucked up the most? Thanks

I've created a photo for you showing all three hitches next to each other. The hitch in the middle 24908 by Draw-Tite is no longer available.
Both of the two remaining hitches share a very similar design, have the same weight capacities and would install in the same manner. The crossbar and receiver opening of both hitches would be visible below the rear bumper fascia of the 2015 Mazda 6.
I'd recommend the Curt # C11356. If you were planning on doing some light duty towing (after checking with your owner's manual or with Mazda to determine if your vehicle is capable of towing), you'd need a ball mount, trailer wiring harness, part # 118587, and the 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19256 or the 2 inch ball, part # 19258.
I've linked you to a few of our help articles.

Hi Mike! I'm coming across this post, and making a similar decision for my 2017 Mazda 6, choosing between the Curt and the Draw-Tite. From my research, it seems like the Curt requires a support strap, while the Draw-Tite does not, for a bike rack (1-¼" receiver). Is this still accurate? Are there any other considerations when choosing between these, such as clearance, stability, etc.? I am planning on still using the Thule T2 Pro XTR rack with this.
