Expert Reply:
On your 2018 Mazda CX-5 Touring model there is a trim piece on the bottom center of the rear bumper area, about 2 feet, long L-shaped, and held in place by two push pin connectors. This trim piece must be removed to install Drawtite Hitch #76138. It cannot be reinstalled as the hitch fills the area under the bumper it is affixed to.
See attached picture.
