Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

Is the best it was my first experience and am soo happy good quality I used it to get rack for my bike I would highly recommend this etrailer hitch great quality it’s been year now to it

This is my third hitch from etrailer, and I've never been disappointed. The hitch for my Mazda arrived in 3 days and in perfect condition - nothing poking through the box, and with no scrapes or other damage to the hitch. Installation was easy - took about 45 minutes overall with a helper at the end to assist raising the hitch into position. The installation videos are great, and the fish wires for the hardware are ingenious. For my first hitch, I did invest in a pair of muffler hanger pliers, and they have proven to be very helpful since all three of my hitches have required lowering the exhaust - the pliers make quick work of removing the rubber isolators. Backing the rear of the car onto some ramps provided plenty of room to work. We use our hitch solely for hauling our bikes, and our carrier requires a 2" receiver. The Mazda factory hitch is only a Class II (1-1/4") and consists of a bunch of separate pieces that have to be bolted together, not to mention a cutout that has to be made in the bumper for the receiver. The etrailer hitch best met my needs - it's solidly made and very clean looking, almost entirely hidden behind the bumper, with only the receiver showing - even that fits tight against the bottom of the bumper. Hopefully, I'll be keeping this car for a while, but if I ever need another hitch, I'll be back!

Really excellent service from these guys. This is my second hitch, 2 thumbs up!

I’ve owned it for a year and have used it about 15 times. I have had zero complaints/issues with it!

The hitch was delivered quickly exactly when it was supposed to. It arrived in good shape and with the help of the video tutorial I was happy to say I was able to install this myself in a little over an hour (most of that time was spent fiddling around with plastic clips on my bumper). The actual installation of the hitch was pretty simple, I just needed one other person to help hold it in place while bolting it on. It fits exactly how it should and looks as good as a receiver hitch can. The matte black powder coat also seems high quality; hopefully it holds up well over time!

Great experience and resources. From the web site confirming correct trailer hitch, to "How To" videos, very smooth process. Delivery was really quick. Had my friend help out, he didn't see the videos and got the mounting plate "stuck" inside the channel, but I was able to rescue it and then get the hitch mounted correctly. Friend was really impressed with the manufacturing and how well it was designed. Also got the Wiring Harness (ignore the Toyota First Aid Kit in the Wiring Picture) and installed just in case I will need to use a trailer with lighting on it. Currently will use the hitch to transport bikes.
Well Done!

  • Does etrailer Hitch for Mazda CX-9 have Same Dimensions as Curt Hitch
    Hey Jim, I am going to let you in on an little secret...so the etrailer hitches like the part # e87AR are basically the exact same as the Curt hitches as they are made by same company. Only difference is the powder coat is a matte finish as opposed to a gloss finish like the Curts. So all of the dimensions are the exact same.

  • What Size Bolt Leader/Fish Wire Does etrailer Hitch for 2021 Mazda CX-9 Use
    The etrailer hitch part # e87AR that you referenced actually comes with 4 bolt leaders so they wouldn't need to be supplied. The bolts are 1/2 inch though so for a replacement bolt leader you'd want the part # C58400.

  • Recommended Anti-Rattle Device Compatible w/ etrailer Hitches
    I have a solution for you but the Draw Tite QSP anti rattle item # 63080 you referenced can only be used on Draw Tite hitches. For a similar option you will want to use the Hitch Receiver Immobilizer II item # BX88224 which can be used on etrailer hitches like the item # e87AR.

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2018 Mazda CX-9
    In order to tow a trailer with a 2018 Mazda CX-9 you'll first need to start with a trailer hitch and for this I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e87AR which offers a direct bolt-on fit. This trailer hitch has a hidden design which will offer the best overall appearance. It also has a 2" opening with class III rating so it will be great for towing or hitch mounted accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. In order to complete your towing setup you'll also need...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Mazda CX-9
    No, it doesn't but I have a less expensive one that does. For your 2023 Mazda CX-9 you will want the Draw-Tite Hitch item # 76020. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Mazda with included hardware. I really like this hitch because it mounts behind the rear bumper cover leaving only the 2" receiver visible. It also has a built in tab that makes it easy to connect a wiring harness using the Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat item # 18144. If you are planning on towing you will also need...

  • Does The Underbody Panel Get Reinstalled After Installing A Trailer Hitch On A 2019 Mazda CX-9
    The underbody panel you're referring to can be placed back on, but you'll have to trim it around the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit # e87AR in order to get it to fit. It is a bit challenging with this vehicle so most people would just leave it off. It won't hurt anything if you do decide to leave it off.
