They both have a Class I rating with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening and will be limited to a max of two bikes.

  • Which Thule 3 Bike Trunk Mount Bike Racks Will Fit a 2011 Mazda 6 Sedan
  • Yes, according to Thule the OutWay 3, # TH56BV, will fit your 2011 Mazda 6 sedan. Thule has several 3 bike trunk mount bike racks that will fit your car. Gateway 3, # TH78VR Passage 3, # TH910XT Out of all of these bike racks, I think the Raceway 3 is the best choice. It is very light weight, under 19 pounds, and the retractable cables make it quick and easy to install. Out of all of the trunk mounted bike racks I have used, the OutWay has been the easiest to install. I have included...

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2018 Mazda 6
  • Yes, the Curt Hitch # C11356 is a fit for the 2018 Mazda 6. The video I linked showing an example installation is on a 2016 Mazda 6 but the process will be the same on the 2018. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch. I have linked the Class I compatible 2-bike racks and cargo carriers...

  • Will Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 24832, Fit on a 2009 Mazda 6 with Single Exhaust
  • Yes. The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 24832, will fit your 2009 Mazda 6 with single exhaust. I have included a link to the instructions below. I also recommend the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # HM11140245. This harness plugs in line with your Mazdas wiring and provide a 4 pole connector at the rear of the vehicle and requires a direct connection to the battery in order to protect your vehicles sensitive wiring. I have included a link to...

  • Will the Thule OutWay Platform-Style Bike Rack # TH65JV Fit on a 2011 Mazda 6
  • According to Thule, the OutWay Platform-Style Bike Rack, # TH65JV, will fit the 2011 Mazda 6 sedan. It was also designed to work with most factory spoilers if your Mazda 6 has a spoiler. The platform-style bike rack certainly makes loading and unloading much easier, but it also makes for a heavy bike rack. This bike rack weighs 27.6 lbs and some customers have noted that it has dented their plastic bumpers. For a lighter bike, I would recommend looking at the Thule OutWay Hanging Style...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatible with 2017 Mazda 6
  • Yes, the Curt # C11356 that is currently on your 2015 Mazda 6 will fit a 2017 Mazda 6. I recommend replacing the hardware to install the hitch on the 2017. Use # RHK and enter the hitch information for the exact replacement. If you're going to be towing a trailer and need the wiring harness use # C56280. It installs by plugging in to a connector behind paneling in the trunk. Then the hot lead will be connected to the positive battery post through the included fuse holder.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For Carrying a Bike Rack With 2" Receiver Behind a 2016 Mazda 6
  • If you are wanting to use your 2" bike rack you will want to install the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7301 on your 2016 Mazda 6. Both the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # e43YR which will fit the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11356 and Hitch Adapter # HTAD reduce the capacity of the receiver by 50%. This will reduce the tongue weight from 200lbs to 100lbs by using the adapter and will likely push your bike rack with any bikes over the 100lb limit. By using the EcoHitch...

  • Will the RockyMounts WestSlope Fit in a Class I Hitch on a 2018 Mazda 6
  • Yes. The RockyMounts WestSlope # RKY10222 is compatible with a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver like the Curt # C11356 you've got on your 2018 Mazda 6. Since the WestSlope doesn't come with any locks included you may consider adding them with the Cable Lock and Hitch Lock for RockyMounts WestSlope Bike Racks # RKY10224 to provide some added security.

  • Which Roof Rack for 2021 Mazda 6 Fits on the Fixed Mounting Points on the Roof
  • I have a solution for you, but the Rhino Rack roof rack you've been looking at is not designed to fit to the fixed mounting points on a 2021 Mazda 6; unfortunately in this case Rhino Rack does not offer a fit kit for their towers/legs that will fit to the fixed mounting points, but Yakima does. The Yakima roof rack for a 2021 Mazda 6 with fixed mounting points uses the following parts and is the only roof rack currently available for those fixed points: Yakima Jetstream Bars 50" # Y00425 Yakima...

  • Fit of Trunk Mounted Bike Carrier on 2006 Mazda 6 Hatchback
  • Your best bet would be to install a receiver hitch like the Curt Class I receiver, part # C11329. The hitch can be used as an attachment point for a bike rack. Because of the limited weight bearing ability of the Class I receiver, you will be limited to carrying two bikes and would need to choose a rack that is compatible with a Class I receiver. None of our bike rack manufacturers recommend using trunk mounted racks on the Mazda 6 hatchback model, because the hatchback is not strong...

  • Do I Need A Drawbar For Hitch If I Use Hitch Mounted Bike Rack 2018 Mazda 6
  • If you are looking at the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Item # C11356, the drawbar is sold separately and not included. You will not need this part if you are using a hitch mounted bike rack such as the RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo Bike Rack for 1 Bike - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # RKY87RR, or any other hitch mounted accessories. A drawbar (or sometimes called ball mount), is the metal piece that slides into the hitch opening to provide the attachment point for a hitch ball for...

  • Options for Carrying 3 Bikes on 2004 Mazda 6 Wagon with Class I Trailer Hitch
  • I have a solution for you to carry 3 bikes on your 2004 Mazda 6, but it is true that Class I, 1-1/4 inch receiver trailer hitches, like the # C11308 you referenced, are limited to carrying only 2 bikes. These trailer hitches are limited to carrying 2 bikes due to the low tongue weight capacities of both the trailer hitch and the vehicle on which the hitch is installed. As more bikes are installed on a hitch mount rack, the weight of the bikes is moved further away from the hitch, increasing...

  • Can I Tow A Small Trailer With Curt Hitch On 2017 Mazda 6
  • Yes, the Curt Class I receiver part # C11356 is rated for up to 200 lbs of tongue weight so it supports the weight of your small trailer and gear. Tongue weight is normally 10-15% of the loaded trailer weight and it sounds like your tongue weight could be around 60 lbs at the max. As long as you do not exceed the 200 lb tongue weight capacity the Curt can support it. However, I was able to find your owner's manual as well and it lists many different configurations that depends on how...
