Expert Answers about Mazda 6


  • 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...

  • 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 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Mazda 6 with included hardware.

  • Fitting a Sport Rack Semi-Custom Roof Rack to a 2010 Mazda 6 4 Door
  • In this case, no, a Roof Adapter, part # SR1116 would not be needed to fit a 2010 Mazda 6 with the Sport Rack Semi-Custom Roof Rack, part # SR1010. SportRack does recommend however that you hold the hook mechanism down while tightening the bolts.

  • Recommended Hanging Bike Rack for a 2017 Mazda 6
  • I looked at the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11356 that you have installed on your 2017 Mazda 6 and compared that to the Thule Apex 2 Bike Rack part # TH9024XT. The opening of the hitch which is 1-1/4" and size of the shank which is also 1-1/4" will fit into one another however, the folding mechanism of the rack has the potential to interfere with the rear bumper due to the recessed hitch pin hole. Therefore, I do not recommend using this rack on your vehicle. Instead, I recommend...

  • Solution for Hitch Mounted 3-Bike Rack on 2018 Mazda 6 Sport
  • The only option for a hitch on your 2018 Mazda 6 is a Class I hitch # C11356. This has a 1-1/4" receiver so a bike rack for a 2" hitch would not be an option. Also, a Class I hitch is going to be limited to 2 bikes, even if you use a 3-bike rack like the # S63365. Instead, you can use a trunk bike rack like the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633. This is confirmed to fit your Mazda 6 Sport and has a capacity of 35 lbs per bike or 90 lbs total when carrying 3 bikes.

  • Recommended Bike Rack For A 2009 Mazda 6 With Curt Class 1 Hitch
  • The Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # S64650 is rated for use on class 2 or 3 trailer hitches but unfortunately there are only class 1 trailer hitch receivers available for a 2009 Mazda 6. This bike rack will not work with class 1 hitches like your Curt # C11359. You would instead need a bike rack like the Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 2 Recumbents Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # SA4412B-R. This rack is rated for use on a class 1 hitch, but only has...

  • Will Tekonsha T-One Wiring Harness # 118587 Fit 2016 Mazda 6 GT with LED Lights
  • Yes, the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118587 that you referenced is confirmed to fit and will work perfectly on your 2016 Mazda 6 GT with the LED tail lights. This custom harness will plug right into existing ports behind the tail light assemblies and receive power by running a hot lead up to the battery. This will provide you with the needed 4-Way connector for powering a trailer's basic signal lights. I have attached the full install manual below that you can also look through.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Will a SportRack Roof Rack Fit a 2010 Mazda 6
  • Yes, the SportRack semi-custom roof rack, # SR1010, is listed as a fit for your 2010 Mazda 6 sedan. It does not fit a 5-door model. I have included a link to a video review of this series of roof racks for you. If you have a 5-door model then there is one roof rack option from Rhino-Rack using the following parts: Euro Square Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 Feet # RRRLKVA Custom DK Pads # DK289

  • 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...

  • Will the Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11308, Fit a 2007 Mazda 6 Hatchback And Wagon
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch, item # C11308, will fit the 2007 Mazda 6 Sport Wagon models only. For the 2007 Mazda 6 five door hatch back, and the 4 door sedan, you would need to use the Curt Trailer Hitch, item # C11329. Some items you may need to complete your Class I towing setup are listed below. Wiring, item # C59496, for the 2007 Mazda 6 Sport Wagon Wiring, item # 118405, for the Mazda 6 4 Door Sedan and 5 Door Hatchback Drawbar, item # 3593, for the 2007 Mazda 6 Sport Wagon Drawbar,...

  • 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.
