Expert Answers about Mazda CX-3


  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Adapter for 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch on 2018 Mazda CX-3
  • There is not a 2 inch hitch receiver available for your 2018 Mazda CX-3, so to make your Kuat Bike Rack compatible, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24933

  • Troubleshooting Bike Rack Weight Bending Class I Curt Hitch Down
  • Were you using the required stabilizer strap part # 18050 when carrying your Kuat NV part # NV12G with the Curt hitch part # C11418? Curt requires you use this strap to basically help prevent the weight from damaging the hitch and vehicle like you were experiencing. Also, were you driving on any rough roads? You should note that none of the hitches or racks we offer will be able to withstand any off-roading. At this point though your frame is damaged to the point I would not recommend installing...

  • Can the Thule Spare Me Tire Mount Bike Rack be Locked
  • The Thule Spare me bike rack # TH963PRO used the One-Key System for its locks. It has locks to secure the rack and your bikes. It uses a locking hand knob to secure the rack to the mounting plate. It also has an integrated cable lock to secure your bikes to the rack. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you.

  • Which Bike Racks are Compatible with Class I Hitches for 2016 Mazda CX-3
  • Sounds like you have a Class II bike rack by Yakima and would like to install it in the Draw Tite hitch part # 24933 which is a confirmed fit for the 2016 Mazda CX-3. Nearly all Yakima 1-1/4 inch hitches are Class II only so there's no way I can recommend a hitch that would work with your bike rack since all of the hitches for your vehicle are Class I. Only solution would be to go with a bike rack that is Class I compatible. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed...

  • Roof Rack with Flush Bars that Fits 2019 Mazda CX-3
  • We have a very similar roof rack to the Rola you mentioned that is confirmed as a fit for the factory fixed mounting points on the roof of your 2019 Mazda CX-3 but the Rola kit does not fit your vehicle. Instead the Thule roof rack part numbers # TH711400, # TH710501, and # TH145136 which is an aero bar roof rack.

  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2021 Mazda CX-30
  • The Curt, # C11418 is confirmed to fit your 2021-21 CX-3 as well as the Draw-Tite Sportframe, # 24933. Each of these hitches are a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" Class I hitch with a 200 lb. tongue weight rating and a 2,000 lb. trailer weight rating. Both are capable of light duty towing and a good choice for a bike rack or cargo carrier. With most all things being equal in ratings and performance I suggest the Curt, # C11418 option due to customer feedback having a better finish. If the powder coating...

  • Will Yakima Hangout 2 Bike Rack Y02637 Fit 2016 Mazda CX-3
  • Yes, we checked with Yakima and the HangOut 2 part # Y02637 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Mazda CX-3. Outer/Lower support frame rests on the trunk lip, hatch lid, or rear door below emblem Place the lower strap hooks at the bottom edge of the trunk, hatch lid, or rear door Side strap hooks to back side edge of trunk, hatch, or rear door below tail lights Requires use of Yakima's Glass Hatch Hook accessory in place of the upper strap hooks. One set of the Glass...

  • Recommended Cargo Basket for 2016 Mazda CX-3 with Rhino-Rack RS Roof Rack Installed
  • With the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack # RR46XR installed on your 2016 Mazda CX-3 you are looking at a crossbar spread of 26 inches (distance between front and rear crossbars on center). The Stallion Aluminum Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # 288-09200 referenced in your question will work with a crossbar spread of 17-3/4 inches to 24-3/4 inches, so it's not going to be a good fit on your vehicle. For an aluminum basket that will fit the Rhino-Rack roof rack on your Mazda CX-3, I recommend taking...

  • Rhino Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack that Fits 2017 Mazda CX-3
  • I have a Rhino Rack aero bar roof rack that does fit your 2017 Mazda CX-3 but the part number you mentioned is not a fit. Instead you'd want the part # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK384 for a rack that has bars that go past the feet for extra crossbar space.

  • Parts Needed to Install Thule Aeroblade Roof Rack on 2016 Mazda CX-3

The other two numbers needed are part # TH480R for the feet kit, and part # THKIT1798 for the fit kit. With these three part numbers together you will have everything needed to install the Aeroblade roof rack.

  • Which Trailer Wiring Harness for 2019 Mazda CX-3
  • Although both the Curt # C56300 and the Tekonsha # 118718 are both fits for your vehicle, I'd personally choose the Tekonsha harness, as we've found that they tend to be a bit more reliable over time. If you haven't yet decided on a hitch, I'd recommend the US made Curt # C11418. For a ball mount, Curt recommends the # C45521. For a trailer ball, use # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # 19258 for a 2 inch. I've linked to install instructions and an install video for the hitch.

  • Recommended Ball Mount for 2018 Mazda CX-3 that Has Draw Tite Hitch
  • With Class I hitches like the Draw Tite part # 24933 that you referenced you have to use the ball mount that the hitch manufacturer requires which in this case is the Draw Tite part # 3593. Then for hitch balls you'd want the part # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or part # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball. You'll want trailer wiring too which for that the Tekonsha kit part # 118718 is the kit I recommend as it installs easily and has a very reliable converter box.

  • Yes, if you wanted to use the 49 inch long Rhino Rack crossbars # RRVA126B-2 instead with the feet kit part # RRRLKVA and the fit kit part # DK384 on your 2018 Mazda CX-3 you certainly could.

  • Does Saris SuperClamp EX work with Folding Bike Rack for Electric Bike w/ Fenders
  • The # SA4025F Saris SuperClamp won't have any issues carrying an eBike with fenders. With full fenders on front and rear wheels being commonplaceon eBikes, the placement of the SuperClamp hooks just need to be adjusted accordingly. As long as you can get the front wheel clamped down really well you can just do the best you can with the rear hook, you'll be good to go. The front fender on a bike stops right where you would want the hook to be so ideal placement is not hard to get for the...

  • Will Thule Bike Racks Fit Draw Tite Hitch 24933 for 2016 Mazda CX-3
  • The Draw Tite hitch part # 24933 is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch opening. Thule makes bike racks that fit this size and Class. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative...

  • Do Draw-Tite Trailer Hitches Require a Stabilization Strap Like Curt Hitches for a 2016 Mazda CX-3
  • Curt is the only manufacturer that requires the use of stabilization strap # 18050. No other manufacturers require it though you can still use it if you want to. The idea is that the strap reduces some of the stress on the hitch. Uhaul hitches are just rebranded hitches from other hitch manufacturers so it is a Draw-Tite or a Curt too. Any accessory you put in a hitch is going to move. This is because the shank of the accessory has to be a little smaller than the receiver opening so it...

  • Best Bike Rack Recommendation for 2019 Mazda CX-3
  • The best bike rack style is a hitch mounted option so for your 2019 Mazda CX-3 you'll need to install a hitch first like the Draw Tite part # 24933 which is best option as it doesn't require a stabilizer strap like the equivalent Curt does for your vehicle. Now the easiest to use bike racks are platform racks as they are much easier to load then trying to fit the frame of your bike over the arms of a hanging rack. Typically the big drawback to platform racks is the weight but we have...
