Expert Answers about Mazda CX-3


  • Can the Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier Be Used on a Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack
  • Yes, you can use the Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # TH7324B on the Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack # RR42114BF using the Rhino-Rack Accessory Bars # RR43232B. But you do not need to use the Rhino-Rack Accessory Bars # RR43232B because the Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # TH7324B has a track mount option and can utilize the channels on the Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack # RR42114BF. The Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # TH7324B also...

  • Compatibility of RS 2500 Roof Rack and Thule Force or Yakima RocketBox on a 2016 Mazda CX-3
  • Both the Thule Force Medium Rooftop Cargo Box 624 # TH6356B and the older Yakima RocketBox Pro 12 that you referenced are compatible with the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack # RR46XR that you have installed on your 2016 Mazda CX-3. If you have the room for it then the Thule Force would give you a little bit more room as it has 13 cu-ft of storage as opposed to the RocketBox Pro having 12 cu-ft of storage. You can verify that the back hatch of your CX-3 will fully open with the Force installed...

  • Fit of Inno Shaper80 Rooftop Cargo Basket INXA568 on Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack
  • The Rhino-Rack ROC25 aero roof rack that fit your 2016 Mazda CX-3, part # RR46XR, uses elliptical crossbars whose dimensions are 3-1/8-inches wide x 1-3/16-inches tall. The Inno Shaper80 Rooftop Cargo Basket # INXA568 is compatible with the T-slot channels in the Rhino-Rack crossbars. Just take a quick measurement of the spacing of your bars, from the center points of both the front and rear bars, to confirm they are at least 20-inches apart as required by the Inno basket.

  • Rhino-Rack Platform and Cargo Bag For Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars on a 2019 Mazda CX-3
  • Yes, the Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack For Crossbars # RR42114BF will work on the Thule WingBar Edge Crossbars # TH26SC (721420). The Rhino-Rack platform requires 36" of usable space and the 721420 crossbars have a loading space of 32"-36". You can use the Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Bag # RRLB200 you asked about and underfill it to keep the length shorter and inside the platform. But in my opinion, you would be better off using the Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Bag # RRLB350. The...

  • Will the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Fit a 2016 Mazda CX-3
  • If your 2016 Mazda CX-3 has a roof rack then the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 cargo box # Y95AV will fit. To determine if there is clearance to open the rear hatch there is a measurement you can take. Measure from the center of the front roof rack crossbar back to the nearest obstruction (open the hatch when taking this measurement if there is no other obstruction like an antenna in the way). If that distance is 47 inches or more then the box will fit without interference. If you need a roof rack...

  • Does Curt Hitch 11418 Fit 2016 Mazda CX-3

  • Will Swagman Bike Carrier Fit Trailer Hitch On 2016 Mazda CX-3
  • The Draw-Tite Sportframe trailer hitch, part # 24933 will work great on your 2016 CX-3. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. I am not sure which Swagman bike rack you have, but the bike racks we have made by Swagman like the Trailhead, part # S63360 has a measurement of 11 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the bike carrier. The Titan, part # S63400 has a distance of 11-1/4 inches, and both of these would work great for you....

  • Compatibility of a Thule Doubletrack Pro with a Class I Hitch on a 2017 Mazda CX-3
  • The Thule Doubletrack Pro XT, part # TH92BJ is a useable rack for a Class I Draw-Tite Sport Frame, part # 24933 . The rack weighs 35 pounds and has enough clearance to go past the rear bumper. I've included a video of the rack on a similar 2013 Mazda CX-5 so you can get an idea of what it looks like installed.

  • Compatibility of Brophy HT5R Hitch Adapter with 2-Inch Bike Carrier on 2016 Mazda CX-3
  • Hitch adapters can sometimes be handy for a quick-fix, but since your 2016 Mazda CX-3 can only accept a light-duty 1-1/4-inch hitch I really cannot recommend using any type of hitch adapter. Here's why. Any type of adapter, such as the Brophy # HT5R, will cost you half of your hitch's rated capacity. So a 200-lb-rated Class I hitch like my recommended Draw-Tite # 24933 will have only a 100-lb capacity if used with the Brophy adapter. The reason for this loss of hitch capacity is that any...

  • Can The Yakima FatCat EVO 4 Fit 1 Snowboard And 2 Pairs Of Skis?
  • Yes absolutely. As you can see in the attached demonstration video that the Yakima FatCat EVO 4 Ski and Snowboard Carrier # Y03095 can easily fit 1 snowboard along with a couple pairs of skis; the video shows 2 snowboards being stacked on top and there is still room for 3 pairs of skis to be mounted.

  • Will Yakima FatCat EVO 4 Ski And Snowboard Carrier Fit 2018 Mazda CX-3 With Factory OEM Roof Rack?
  • Yes, the Yakima FatCat EVO 4 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards # Y03095 will fit just fine on your 2018 Mazda CX-3 Factory OEM roof rack. This allows you to load 4 pairs of skis or 2 snow boards onto the carrier and locks are included to keep them secured to your roof. I attached a helpful demonstration video for you.

  • Does Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack Fit 2016 Mazda 3 with Draw Tite Hitch Installed
  • The Swagman XTC2 part # S64670 would work well on your 2016 Mazda CX-3 that has the Draw Tite hitch part # 24933 installed. The lower fascia of the vehicle does not need to be trimmed or come off either. If you are local you can contact customer service at 800 298 8924 to set up an install of the hitch and bike rack.

  • Can a Custom Hitch for a 2018 Mazda CX-3 be Used on a 2018 CX-5
  • Neither the Curt, part # C11418, nor the Draw-Tite, part # 24933, that are made for the 2018 Mazda CX-3 are compatible with the 2018 Mazda CX-5. The mounting areas are different on the frames, so they are not interchangeable. If you are looking for a hitch for your CX-5, then I recommend the Curt Class III, part # C13315. It has a towing capacity of 4000 pounds and a maximum tongue weight of 600 pounds. It has a 2" receiver, but you can use your older 1-1/4" accessories using an adapter...

  • Comparison of Curt or Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver for Carrying Bikes on a 2016 Mazda CX-3
  • Both the Curt # C11418 and Draw-Tite # 24933 trailer hitch receivers install into the same location as each other on your 2016 Mazda CX-3. However, the Draw-Tite does not require the use of the support strap # 18050 like the Curt does. Both racks are Class I, 1-1/4 inch hitch receivers so I doubt you will have a much different ride using the Draw-Tite instead of the Curt. Have you tried an anti-rattle device on the bike rack? If you can tell me the make and model of the bike rack we...

  • Does Curt Cargo Carrier Work With Class I Trailer Hitch for 2017 Mazda CX-3
  • I'm happy to confirm for you that the products you mentioned are each compatible for use on your 2017 Mazda CX-3, and the Curt Cargo Carrier is compatible with a Class I hitch, so what you will need are the following: - Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24933 - Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110 - Loading Ramp # 288-07474 The ground clearance is about 11-1/2 inches from the top of the receiver on your Mazda to the ground, so you will want to go over any very sudden, steep inclines (like a...

  • Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for Towing a Trailer with a 2019 Mazda CX3
  • The best hitch option for your 2019 Mazda CX3 is Curt hitch part # C11418. Both the Draw-Tite and Curt option for the Mazda are Class I options and can handle up to 200 lbs of tongue weight. I recommend the Curt hitch because installation takes less time compared to the Draw-Tite option. The Curt hitch hardware is easier to access when it is time to torque down the bolts during installation. I have attached an installation video of the Curt hitch on a 2017 Mazda CX-3. The Curt option...

  • Roof Box Compatible with 2019 Mazda CX-3 with Factory Installed Cross Bars
  • While the SportRack Horizon Rooftop Cargo Box # SR7011 will fit the factory installed roof rack on your 2019 Mazda CX-3, it's just a little too long to allow you to fully open your rear hatch. For the hatch to fully open with the # SR7011 installed, there must be at least 52-1/2 inches measured from the center of the front crossbar to the line where the roof and hatch meet (see photo). If you can live with that, the roof box will otherwise fit nicely around your factory cross bars and will...

  • Will Yakima LoadWarrior Fit Rhino-Rack Elliptical Crossbars on 2016 Mazda CX-3
  • The Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basked # Y07070 that you referenced will fit on the aerodynamic elliptical shaped Rhino-Rack crossbars on your 2016 Mazda CX-3. I spoke with my contact at Yakima and he confirmed that the universal mounting hardware on the LoadWarrior is designed to fit most factory, elliptical, and aero-style crossbars. The basket will mount on crossbars with a spread between 24 inches and 32 inches. This rack will work well on you, since in my research I found...
