view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation and Tongue Weight Explanation for 2016 Mazda 6 for Cargo Carrier
- When the hitch manufacturers give a tongue weight rating they rate them based on the common applications of tongue weight by people with trailer hitches. While you are absolutely right that the further you get from the hitch opening the more leverage is put on the hitch, but the manufacturers account for that and give a number that's also safe in that situation. They do this to hopefully reduce confusion.
The most popular Class I hitch we offer is the Curt part # C18145 which I attached...

- For a trailer hitch for your 2017 Mazda 6 the Curt Hitch # C11356 is a confirmed fit and a great choice.
The only tool you'll need to provide is a 3/4 inch wrench and you'll be set. I am not sure where you are, but typically we recommend finding a local mechanic with a solid reputation for hitch installs. I attached an install video for this down below for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch, Trailer Wiring and Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 2011 Mazda 6
- For your 2011 Mazda 6, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class I hitch, part # 24832. The hitch has a 2000 lb towing, 200 lb tongue weight capacity.
The capacity is for the hitch itself, if the capacity of your Mazda 6 is lower, you'd need to abide by the lowest capacity. See your owners manual for the towing capacity of your vehicle.
The hitch I recommended includes the pin and clip used to secure it in the hitch. To complete your towing system, you'd need the following items:
A ball mount...

- I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class I, # C11356, for your 2016 Mazda 6 along with the stabilizing strap # 18050. One of the measurements you will want is the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outer most part of the bumper is 6-1/4 inches.
For a platform bike rack, I called Kuat to get the rise of the shank dimension of the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 and it is right at 5 inches which won't work on your Mazda 6 without an adapter as you mentioned. I don't recommend...
view full answer... - 3-Bike Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2005 Mazda 6s with Rear Spoiler
- The Thule Gateway trunk mount bike carrier # TH78VR is listed as a fit for sedan and wagon models of the 2005 Mazda 6 but is not a fit if you have a hatchback model. From the pictures I saw the spoiler appears to be fairly high and I am not 100 percent confident that the Gateway will be able to reach over that spoiler.
For your Mazda 6, provided it is a sedan or wagon, I recommend the Thule Passage 3, # TH911XT. This sturdy rack has anti-sway and dual adjustable arms to help stabilize...
view full answer... - Roof Rack for 2018 Mazda 6 that Installs to Fixed Mounting Points of Roof
- For a roof rack that fits your 2018 Mazda 6 that would install to the fixed mounting points on your roof you'd want the Yakima JetStream Roof Rack part numbers # Y00425, # Y00148, and # Y00248 as this is the sleekest option that installs in the way you want it to. Every other option does require door clamps like you mentioned not wanting.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Mazda 6 for Carrying Thule T2
- The Thule T2 you have part number TH916XTR is only a fit for 2 inch hitches and your 2017 Mazda 6 only has 1-1/4 inch hitches available like the Curt # C11356, which would be your best choice.
My recommendation is to purchase an economical class I rack like the Lets Go Aero NEO2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # B01748. This rack will let you carry 2 bikes up to 40 pounds each.

- The Camco Olympian Wave 6 Catalytic Safety Heater for Mid-Sized RVs # CAM57341 is not designed to run off of unregulated propane. It needs LP gas which is regulated to 11 inches of water column. So you would need a regulator like the part # CAM57703 that you also referenced.
view full answer... - Recommended Options For Carrying 4 Bikes On 2003 Mazda 6 Sedan
- The trailer hitches we have that are designed to fit your 2003 Mazda 6 sedan are Class l hitches. Any hitch-mounted bike carrier that is designed for a 1-1/4 inch Class l hitch is limited to 2 bikes. You have a few options to consider for carrying 4 bikes but there will not be one single carrier that can handle all 4 bikes on your Mazda.
I recommend a trunk mount carrier for 2 of the bikes and also a roof rack with bike carriers for the other 2 bikes.
The hitch you mentioned, part #...

- Rhino Rack has a single part number roof rack that fits directly to the fixed mounting points of your 2015 Mazda 6 with the part # RR28QR which includes the fit kit needed to fit directly. This is a flush bar setup where the crossbars do not extend out past the feet of the rack.
If you wanted the through bar setup you'd want the part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, # DK387 which you can see does require the fit kit since it's a setup that gets pieced together.
view full answer... - What Do I Need To Tow My 2016 Mazda 6 Behind A Motorhome
- You can tow your 2016 Mazda 6. Unfortunately, it cannot be flat towed. You will have to use a tow dolly. My tow-dolly recommendation is the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Foldable - 4,800 lbs, part # DM9713045. It has a surge coupler, so you will not need to buy a separate brake controller. It comes with the safety chains and a 4-way flat connector. You will need a 4-way flat connector on your motorhome. If you do not have one you will need one installed. You can install...
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Three Bike Rack Recommendations for 2007 Mazda 3 w/ Spoiler
- We do indeed offer some trunk mounted bike racks that would be compatible with your 2007 Mazda 6 equipped with a spoiler. The Saris Bones is a nice bike rack, but I don't care for the small feet, which concentrate the weight of the rack and bikes on a small area of the trunk lid. This can cause denting.
If it's a Sedan and not a Hatchback model, a good entry-level choice would be the Thule Passage, part # TH911XT. The rack's not long on frills, but the adjustable fit dial helps tailor...
view full answer... - Solution that Prevents Wind Noise from Roof Rack and Roof Carriers
- Roof accessories can cause vibration and wind noise like what you mentioned but a fairing will help as it will direct the wind over the rack which allows it to stop.
You'd want to go with the fairing that best fits the distance between the feet of your rack which we have the part # Y05018 which is 46 inches long, # Y05017 which is 40 inches, part # Y05019 which is 52 inches, and part # Y05016 which is 34 inches.
The great thing about Yakima fairings is that they fit all crossbar sizes...
view full answer... - Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2006 Mazda 6
- I recommend going with the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack # TH45JV for your 2006 Mazda 6. This rack is unique in that it won't be in the way of your spoiler at all since it doesn't use arms to reach over a spoiler like almost every over rack does.
If you have any alternative, women's, or kids bikes then I recommend using the Hollywood Frame Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO. This bar will help step-through frames to sit level and gain more ground clearance.
view full answer... - Is There A Way Around Splicing Into the Brake Pedal for a Brake Controller on a 2019 Mazda 6
- I have the perfect option for you and it is not the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 which will require you to splice into the stop light switch circuit behind the brake pedal on your 2019 Mazda 6. Instead, I highly recommend the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 because it is one of the only options that does not require any splicing into the vehicle's stop light switch circuit. The only thing you will need to do for the Curt Echo to work...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a Bike Rack on a 2016 Mazda 6
- Since you will be using the trailer hitch for a bike rack, I recommend the Curt hitch # C11356 along with the stabilization strap, # 18050, when using the hitch for anything other than a trailer (in this case a bike rack) per Curt's warranty requirements.
The Kuat Transfer # KU74FR measures just 6 inches from the pin hole to the closest part of the rack when folded so it would not be able to fold up. The Curt hitch sticks out a little, but there is still not enough clearance to fold up...
