2016 Mazda Miata
Purchased for a 2016 Miata to haul two sub-35 pound mountain bikes.
The installation was intimidating on paper, but overall 2/5 difficulty using hand tools on the garage floor. Didn't run into any problems, just took patience and 2 hours. Would recommend having a friend to assist lifting the receiver into position.
I've used the Curt trailer hitch for about a year now, and everything still feels tight. No complaints and I'd recommend this to other Miata owners.
by: Marvin 03/24/2024
This hitch went on easily and enables us to pull a small trailer so we can tent camp across the country. Without this hitch, we would have had to stay in motels and only eat in restaurants.

2014 Mazda MX-5 Miata
hello all,
installation went great with a few expected modifications - just WISH you can make it in aluminum for us that don’t require to tow anything. my tanita scale displayed 23.14 lbs
- unless i am missing something? i don’t know why there are 4 fishing wires in the kit since you only use it one.
note:
use a primer to protect the metal after you make the holes bigger on the chasis. (see pics)

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata
OMG this was a sweet install. Superbly engineered and I was done in about 2 hours doing it solo.. Such small visibility and the paint job on it was outstanding, powdered coated? Instructions great, hardware was top notch, torqued the bajesus out of it no fear of snapping, and the bracket to hold the bumper trim was super solid. Could not rate any higher. Added a picture with my bike rack but mainly installed to pull a tag along trailer.
by: Mishoreline06/20/2022
Hitch installation was straight forward. It’s best to remove the muffler entirely rather than working with it dropped down and hanging. The hitch works perfectly with our 10 cu.ft. Yakima box attached to a DIY aluminum frame that I built attached to a 1.25” steel drawbar. We can now take 2-4 week road trips with ample storage

2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata
Added a hitch on a 2019 Miata RF for a bike carrier on the rear that I can detach. Fit on the Miata is great, instructions were easy to follow, installed it in a single afternoon. Great item.
by: GregoryD05/07/2019
2018 Mazda Miata
My installation was not for a Miata, but for my 2018 Fiat 124 Spider. The instructions were very clear and also apply to the Fiat. The muffler should be removed rather than just lowered, it makes the installation so much easier. The facia brackets that are included are Miata specific, they will not fit the Fiat. In time I will fashion some myself. The most time consuming part of this project was making the access holes larger, but even that only took about 10 minutes to do both. The clearance of the receiver to the light pod is not an issue for me since I am using this product for a bike rack. Some tips for installation
1. After fishing the carriage bolts into position, do NOT remove the fish wire until you are ready to put on the nut, it's easy to lose the bolt in the frame.
2. Install one side of the receiver at a time, it's heavy and nearly impossible to hold up to the frame to line up all four bolts.
3. Take off that muffler, you'll be glad that you did.
This is a great product, and ready to install. I highly recommend it.

Fiat
Designed and marketed for the Mazda MX-5 (ND), this hitch also bolts onto the Fiat 124 Abarth and Spider.
Ideal for bicycle racks, tire racks, and cargo trays. NOT recommended for heavy loads (greater than 300 pounds) or trailers.

One year latter and my Curt hitch looks like new and is working just fine. Fiat owners who want to attach bicycle racks, cargo trays, or even small, lightweight tire trailers for autocross rubber will find this to be the best solution. Other hitch designs require removal and replacement of the rear bumper cover. The Curt design requires only the removal of the rear muffler for ease of installation. Im a repeat customer, and theres a reason for that: Curt makes the best product for the cars I drive.
by: Joe11/02/2021
I mounted this hitch on a 2018 Fiat Lusso Spider. The hitch fit perfectly and is almost invisible. It was really easy to remove the muffler to install. I would have given 5 stars except that the Facia support brackets used for the Miata are not the same as what is needed, see picture, for the Spider. I fabricated my own brackets and all is well.

2017 Fiat 124 Spider
Great 1 1/4 hitch. It is exactly what I need for my bike carrier on my 2017 Fiat 124. It's tucked under the number, so when the bike rack is not attached, you can't see it at all, which is nice.
by: Tyler08/17/2018
Hitch was not too difficult to install, but was definitely easier with two people. The instructions say to drop the exhaust, but it is easier if you remove the muffler all together, which is only two extra bolts.
It looks great installed, even with the extra bumper lip on the Club trim level. It sits very close to the bumper and looks very high quality when installed.
by: Charlie07/28/2021
Quality product at a reasonable price. Installation idea was excellent and resulted in no need to read and follow written instructions
by: J D07/27/2023
As always, superior service and superior product keeps us all coming back. No need to look for better, you have it with etrailer.

2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata
install was easy and hitch is great
by: Eric 10/27/2022
Mazda Miata
This hitch is custom made to fit the Mazda MX-5 Miata. It was easy to install and looks great with the entire hitch out of sight behind the bumber with only the 1 1/4-inch hitch opening visible. E-Trailer provides non-spin bolts for mounting the hitch to the frame, and four metal fishing wires (one for each bolt) so there's no chance of accidently pushing the bolts up into the frame rails when you raise the hitch into position against the frame rails. Clearance between the hitch and muffler is sufficient to avoid any contact and rattling when driving.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata
Haven't yet installed the hitch, But it looks good. It will be barely visable.
by: William 04/25/2020
So far so good. Installation was easy with the right tools. Fishwire system for install is super slick, works far better than it looks like it should. Really like the way this attaches to the frame - uses heavy duty hardware in shear (how bolts are designed to be used) and doesn't put bending loads on any frame welds like some of the more expensive options. Also like that it's all one piece instead of hideaway - the hideaway hitches wobble a lot when used with a bike rack or cargo tray.
Highly recommend, and as a bonus, it's cheap!

Fortunately a local RV place was willing to install the hitch for me. The establishment stated all went well.
by: David 03/18/2023
Fast shipping, excellent on-line video tutorial, and a great price!
Be sure to remove the muffler- It makes installation much easier. Removal is very simple.

2021 Mazda Miata
This will fit a 2021 Mazda Miata (MX-5). Easy install, instructions were straight forward and accurate, and it did take about 90 minutes. Shipping was very fast.
by: Paul 02/06/2021
2019 Mazda Miata
I installed this 1-1/4" hitch on my 2019 Mazda Miata RF and it works great for my Kuat Sherpa bike rack (that I also purchased at eTrailer; they have the best prices!). I generally only carry one road bike or one mountain bike on the rack, but it and the hitch seem very sturdy; much thicker metal than the lightweight Miata frame to which it is installed.
I opted to remove the bumper cover and the bumper and install the 4 bolts that way, rather than enlarge the holes in the car's frame with a die grinder or dremel as recommended by the instructions for 2 of the bolts. When you remove the bumper you will have access to the hollow "rails" that comprise the main structure of the car's frame, and it is very easy to put in the bolts into the existing holes without grinding any holes bigger than they were from the Mazda factory. You have to drop the exhaust/muffler to do this install (regardless of which approach you take for the bolts), but it goes back into its original position so nothing to complain about other than the usual rubber exhaust hangers being stiff and hard to remove by hand.
The install took a couple hours but was not very difficult; for some steps you may benefit from a pair of extra hands (like raising/lowering the bumper cover or the hitch itself while you get the first bolts in), but it's possible to do this install on your own in 2-3 hours.
by: 06/12/2023
Perfect fit, well made, and very stable (of course).

view full answer... - Would Kuat Sherpa Work Well with 2016 Mazda Miata with Curt Hitch InstalledIt can be a bit interesting fitting the stabilizer strap part # 18050 to a platform bike rack like the Kuat Sherpa part # SH22B but basically you have to run the strap from the trunk lid to the base of the rack where the rails meet shank of the rack. This would be an excellent bike rack though. Kuat makes some of the best bike racks available so I know you will like it with your 2016 Mazda Miata with Curt hitch # C11435 installed.

- Understanding the Towing Safety Information Table in Curt Hitch Instructions for a 2017 Mazda MiataIt took me a couple of minutes but I finally found that table. That is actually in the instructions for the hitch # C11435 for the 2017 Mazda Miata. The table is laid out kind of weird. It does make it look like the top row of numbers is tongue weight. But that is the gross trailer weight and the tongue weight is usually 10 to 15 percent of that. So usually a Class I hitch is rated up to 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 200 pounds tongue weight. But with that said you also have to...
view full answer... - Kuat Sherpa that Can Fit Curt Hitch for 2020 Mazda MX-5Using a 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch adapter isn't my favorite solution for situations like yours as the adapters end up cutting the capacity of the hitch in half and also add quite a bit of movement. Since lighter duty vehicles like your 2020 Mazda MX-5 only have the 1-1/4 inch hitch size available the best recommendation I can make is a rack designed for this hitch size like the Sherpa that fits this hitch size part # SH12G.

For your 2017 Mazda MX-5 we only have a Curt hitch like the part # C11435 which will require you to use the stabilizer strap part # 18050 when carrying a bike rack.
