Expert Answers about Mazda CX-3


  • 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...

  • What Trunk Mount Bike Racks are Recommended for 2016 Mazda CX-3?
  • I recommend the Yakima 2 Bike Fullback, part # Y02634. This Fullback is a great rack and has an integrated bike lock for safety and security. It features Yakima's ZipStrip mounting system, including an anti-sway mount. It is a good-looking, top-rated, rack. Additionally, if you have a women's, child or aggressive (BMX or trick style) framed bike, you may need to purchase a Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar part # Y02531 to help the bike ride level behind your vehicle. You can also get...

  • Does Curt Still Require Stabilizer Strap When Carrying Hitch Mounted Accessories
  • Actually Curt stopped requiring the stabilizer straps with bike racks and other non-supported hitch accessories with their hitches like the # C11418 that fits your 2019 Mazda CX-3. It was an extra precaution they took back in the day but recently found it's not needed.

  • Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2016 Mazda CX-3
  • I checked with the manufacturers of trunk mount bike carriers that we offer and Yakima does have some fits. You can use the Yakima FullBack for 2 bikes # Y02634 or the FullBack for 3 bikes # Y02633. The FullBack is a great truck mounted rack that includes locks for both the rack and the bikes to deter theft. Check out the video to see how it works. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend...

  • 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...

  • Yes, the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S510 referenced in your question will fit and work perfectly with the Rhino-WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 on your 2016 Mazda CX-3. This J-style kayak carrier will clamp right around the bars on this roof rack without the need for any additional parts or adapters. The carrier can hold 1 kayak of up to 99 pounds. Tie-down straps and anchors are included to secure the kayak to the carrier and your vehicle. I have attached a short video demonstration...

  • Hitch Recommendation to Use with Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack on 2016 Mazda CX-3
  • The Saris SuperClamp EX part # SA4025F that you referenced will fit your 2016 Mazda CX-3 once you install a trailer hitch on it. For that you would want the part # 24933 that is confirmed as a fit for your vehicle. The SuperClamp EX is a great bike rack that is lightweight that I know you will like. I attached a review video for the rack for you to check out as well.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2020 Chevy Blazer
  • The best trailer hitch receiver for your 2020 Chevy Blazer is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13418. The reason the Curt is the best is because it has a concealed crosstube which ensures only the receiver is showing, and is a much easier installation than the Draw-Tite model, which requires the removal of your Blazer's bumper beam; the Curt hitch does not. I have added a link to a video install for you to check out as well of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13418. Additionally,...

  • Trailer Hitch Fit Recommendation for a 2017 Mazda CX-3
  • Officially we have to recommend that you always stay with the recommendation of the manufacturer on towing as they are who the warranty of the vehicle is with and they are who would have tested the vehicle for towing. That being said we realize that a lot of people ignore their owners manual and tow with vehicles that aren't designed for it and allegedly do not have any problems. So our hitch manufacturers make hitches for these vehicles as there is a demand for them but it's a situation...

  • 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.

  • Fairing Recommendation for Thule Roof Rack Installed on 2016 Mazda CX-3
  • The best way to pick out a fairing for a roof rack is to go with the width that matches the distance between the feet of the roof rack. So for the Thule Wingbar roof rack part # TH711420, # TH710501, and # TH145136 that fits your 2016 Mazda CX-3 which uses bars that are 53 inches in length the best fairing size is the 44 inch fairing part # TH82WV.

  • 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

  • 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...

  • Best Looking Trailer Hitch for 2018 Mazda CX-3
  • Between the two hitches that fit your 2018 Mazda CX-3 the Curt, part # C11418, is tucked under the rear bumper by about an inch more than the Draw-Tite, part # 24933. Although I feel like the Curt is still more obvious to the eye because it has the thick outer collar around the receiver opening. I've attached pictures of them both installed so you can see the difference. Additionally, a hitch that sits closer to the bumper's edge is generally considered better for bike racks so the rack...

  • Concealed Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Mazda CX-3
  • When Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24933 is installed only the receiver will be showing on your 2016 Mazda CX-3. I have included a picture from the instructions showing he hitch installed for you. 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.
