Great experience and resources. From the web site confirming correct trailer hitch, to "How To" videos, very smooth process. Delivery was really quick. Had my friend help out, he didn't see the videos and got the mounting plate "stuck" inside the channel, but I was able to rescue it and then get the hitch mounted correctly. Friend was really impressed with the manufacturing and how well it was designed. Also got the Wiring Harness (ignore the Toyota First Aid Kit in the Wiring Picture) and installed just in case I will need to use a trailer with lighting on it. Currently will use the hitch to transport bikes.
Well Done!

I purchased a CURT Trailer Hitch 13284 Trailer Hitch about a year ago for my Mazda CX-9, and I have been extremely pleased with the results.

2018 Mazda CX-9

Excellent product and easy to install! I decided not to wait for my wife to get home, but lifted the hitch on some 2x scrap I had. I didn't realize you supplied the pull wires, but they helped immensely!
The completed hitch doesn't stick out beyond the bumper! Nice!!!

Still happy! It just works. Thousands of trouble free miles pulling my Sooner.



by:

I put it by myself on my 17 cx9. Great product, sturdy, tough and nice looking. Easy to install and after a year it is still properly attached and no issues. I use it only to hold bike racks and never on real hitching. Nevertheless, great product!



by:

etrailer is the place to shop because their products are top notch quality and they ship fast! Installation of Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class III - 2" on my 2019 Mazda CX9 was super simple thanks to etrailer's step by step instructional videos.



by:

I was very please with how easy this bolted on. The instructions would have been enough but there was a video online that showed how to install making it an easy project. An extra set of hands or two would help bolting on the hitch, but after that,one person is all you need. The hitch reciever feels well made and this item was delivered promptly and price was unbeatable. The company has great customer service. I highly recommend!



by:
2019 Mazda CX-9

Highly recommend this site! The whole purchase, shipping and installation process was simple, fast and efficient. Easy to identify the correct hitch for my vehicle, competitive pricing, great communication from order submission to shipment to receipt of the part plus awesome installation video made this a simple DIY project. Thank you etrailer.com!



by:

Calls for 2 man installation, I did it myself with a floor jack and jack stands. Raised the back a few inches, then lowered the exhaust onto a jack stand, maybe 4-6 inches. Then used another hydraulic jack to hold Hitch in place while I secured nuts. Probably easier than using a lift.

After a year of use, So far so good. I like that it came with the right hardware to do the install. You definitely need a second person to install.

Great instructions and simple installat ion.

2017 Mazda CX-9

Installation was a breeze, I took my time and still was done in less than an hour! With the wire supplied for fishing the bolts through it was so easy my kids could have installed it!!



by:

Tracking was great. New exactly where it was in the process and shipped out the same day I ordered. Received quickly. Was able to install myself without too much trouble.



by:

Pretty easy install, Works Great



by:

Crazy fast shipping from etrailer as always! Great product that fit perfect. And instructions were a great help! Price was the best around as well.



by:

Perfect fit. One person installation with awesome hardware and the best ‘fish’ wire for each bolt. Directions are clear, Video guide super helpful and, best of all, the CX9 Signature “hands free” tailgate opener works with no issues. Finally, these guys at etrailer are on it. Ordered the phone with Joshua K, who offered advice on best options for the CX9 Signature, and the rest of the team packed and handed it off to UPS the same afternoon. I may have gotten lucky with UPS with a two day (not five) arrival.

I purchased and installed primarily for a carryall for luggage. But recently purchased a utility trailer and it works great! Second hitch receiver I purchased for both of my vehicles. Buick Enclave and a 2020 Mazda CX-9.

In my opinion etrailer has very little room for improvement. This is my first purchase, it couldn't have gone any smoother. My representative answered all my questions prior to ordering. The installation videos are great.

Perfect



by:

BE PREPARED This is definitely not an easy, straightforward installation. Pictures on direction sheets are useless, and the text isn’t much better. After 2 hours and a lot of cursing, the hitch is on. Fortunately, I won’t be towing anything, as it’s only for a bike rack. I can’t even fathom trying to mess with wiring up lights!!!
The hitch itself seems solid, it’s just not an easy install.
Live and learn... I will never buy another hitch and attempt installing myself. Car will come from the dealer already installed!!!

2021 Mazda CX-9

Took Auto F/X approximately 1 hour to install the hitch. Looks great on our 2021 Mazda CX-9.



by:
2018 Mazda CX-9

The trailer hitch arrived on time which was a great start. To build upon the start, the packaging was adequate to protect contents. Directions provided were similar to those found online, which was very helpful. Supplementing the paper directions was the video tailored for the same vehicle as mine (Mazda CX-9). I highly recommend this trailer hitch!! Install took 40 minutes.

Tips for other 2018 CX-9 owners (1) the plastic piece in the first step (which the video doesn't cover) has a pinch style clip holding the piece in place once the 10mm bolts are removed. (2) lower the exhaust by only about 4 to 6" max and then when installing the hitch it can be tested on the lowered exhaust, making it much easier to start the nuts on the bolts (3) use lubricant on the exhaust rubber mounts but use sparingly. I used enough to make the removal easy by hand but yet not so lubricated that replacement was so slick as to slide off once mounted while trying to replace another mount.

I didn't take a picture since there was nothing to add beyond the video and paper directions. Hope this helps someone!



by:
2017 Mazda CX-9

The Curt hitch arrived in excellent condition. The installation took about an hour and needed an extra set of hands to help get the hitch raised into place and the nuts on the bolts. The video instructions from etrailer were excellent and complete.

With this hitch you get a 2" hitch for less than the dealer installed 1-1/4" hitch.

Also the shipment from etrailer was fast. Good follow up customer service as well.

  • Will Trunk Mount Bike Rack Cause Damage on 2018 Mazda CX-9
    The Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633 is one of my favorite trunk mount racks because of how easy it is to use and install and I have no issues recommending it for your 2018 Mazda CX-9. In regards to the damage, there are a number of reasons why the dent could have occurred including overloading the rack, improper installation, or using the rack for prolonged periods of time. The review is correct about the placement of the outer/lower support frame so I'm guessing they used that rack...

  • Parts Needed to Tow U-Haul Trailer with 2018 Mazda CX-9
    In order to tow a 5x8 U-Haul cargo trailer with your 2018 Mazda CX-9 you will need a trailer hitch, a 4-Way wiring harness, and a ball mount/hitch ball combo. There are two Class III 2 inch trailer hitch receivers available for your CX-9, the Curt # C13284 and the Draw-Tite # 76020. Both feature pretty similar designs and will use the same existing holes in the vehicle's frame but I recommend going with the Curt # C13284 because it offers a slightly more recessed (hidden) receiver and...

  • How to Remove Lower Trim Panel for Trailer Hitch Receiver Installation on 2019 Mazda CX-9
    You are right that there is a small trim panel underneath your 2019 Mazda CX-9 that does need to be removed when installing either the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76020 or Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13284. Doing this is not difficult at all and only requires a flat head screwdriver and 10mm socket. All that is required is popping off the two plastic fasteners using the flat head screwdriver and then using the 10mm socket to twist off a couple of hex nuts; the trim panel does...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2018 Mazda CX-9
    It looks like the second generation for the Mazda CX-9 began in 2016 and continues through the current model. The changes to the rear frame and bumper on the new generation were enough to require a new trailer hitch for it to fit properly. As you suspected, you will need to obtain a new hitch for your 2018 Mazda CX-9 and I recommend the Curt Hitch Receiver # C13284. This Class III hitch is confirmed to fit your vehicle and will use existing holes in its frame for a no-drill installation....

You should not have any issues using yours on your CX-9 but as a general guide line I do recommend testing it after the receiver is installed as generally one side may work better at sensing the foot movement.

The better option is the Draw Tite part # 76020 over the Curt part # C13284 as the Draw Tite has a better price, slightly higher towing capacities, and a built in trailer wiring bracket. I attached an install video for you to check out as well. For trailer wiring you'd want the # 119250KIT. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer...

  • Wiring Harness and Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Mazda CX-9
    The term 'Towing Package' is pretty useless because it's an extremely vague description whose meaning varies from vehicle manufacturer to vehicle manufacturer, and even among different models from the same manufacturer. For the sake of this discussion in terms of a wiring harness, Tekonsha uses the term 'tow package' because there is a single, dedicated connector for connecting a trailer harness, rather than installing inline where the factory taillight harness connects to the taillight...

It has an 80 lb per bike weight capacity and is compatible with 5" wide tires. It also has locks for security, both the bike and rack. Please note, you will need a 2" trailer hitch for this bike rack option so if you don't have one I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13284.

  • Mounting Plate For Attaching 7-Way & 4-Way Trailer Connectors To 2" Receiver With Hidden Cross Tube
    I recommend using the Curt Easy Mount Bracket for 4- or 5-Way Flat and 6- or 7-Way Trailer Connectors # C58000 for attaching a 7-way plug onto your 2021 Mazda CX-9. The bracket will mount to the face of the receiver on the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13284. This is the cleanest way to attach the 7-way where it easily accessable and will not require you to drill a mount into your bodywork since your receiver tube is hidden up behind the bumper.

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch from 2009 Mazda CX-9 Fit 2019 Mazda CX-9
    Your brand new 2019 Mazda CX-9 will require a new trailer hitch. The Curt Class III Hitch # 13575 you currently have installed on your 2009 CX-9 is only compatible with this vehicle up through the 2015 model year. Based on my research it looks like the CX-9 went through a generational change for the 2016 model year and there were enough differences to the rear of the vehicle that a new hitch fitment was needed. For your 2019 Mazda CX-9 the Curt Class III # C13284 will work perfectly....

  • What is Weight Distribution Capacity for Hitch that Fits 2020 Mazda CX-9
    Trailer hitches sometimes have higher towing capacities when you use a weight distribution system with them like the Curt Hitch part # C13284.

  • Is It Better To Use 1-1/4" or 2" Hitch on 2020 Mazda CX-9 for 5 Bike Rack
    In regards to stability, using a 1-1/4" shank with a 1-1/4" hitch will be more sturdy than using a 1-1/4" shank with 2" adapter with a 2" hitch. However, the 2" hitch will have a greater weight capacity than a 1-1/4" hitch which may be needed for five bikes so the latter is what I recommend. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13284 with the Thule Apex XT 5 Bike Rack part # TH9026XT is what I recommend.

    There is indeed a trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver that fits your 2022 Mazda CX-9.

You will need to ensure the weight of the carrier(77lbs) and your chair do not exceed the capacity of your CX-9 or your receiver. If you can tell me exactly what receiver you have I can verify the weight capacity for it. The Flint Hill Goods 29" x 49" Carrier # FHG69ZR is capable of supporting up to 500lbs.
