view full answer... - Is the Thule Apex Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Easy to Install/Remove on a 2010 Mazda CX-7
- The Thule Apex, # TH9024XT, weighs approximately 35 pounds so it can easily be handled by an adult to install and removed from either a 1-1/4 or 2 inch trailer hitch. The arms can fold down and there is a built in handle in the back at the top to make carrying it around easier. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical mens bike would) then I recommend using...
view full answer... - Will the Thule Passage 2 Trunk Mount Bike rack Fit a 2010 Mazda CX-7
- Thule does list the Passage 2 bike rack # TH910XT as a fit for the 2010 Mazda CX-7. But, if the vehicle has a rear spoiler it is considered as a not fit application for trunk mount bike racks. I have included instructions and a video for you to view.
If you will be carrying womens, childrens, or alternative frame bikes I recommend using the bike adapter bar # TH982XT for greater ground clearance and to carry the bikes more level. I have included a link to a video that shows how the adapter...

- When we installed the Hidden Hitch 1-1/4 on a 2010 CX-7, we found that the hitch is fairly deeply recessed under the rear of the vehicle. I would recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Hitch # 75512. This will have the 2 inch receiver that will allow for more bike rack and cargo rack options.
Once the bikes are removed, the SportRack Pathway, part # SR2703 that you asked about, can be tilted back as far as you need to access the cargo area.
To carry womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled...

- Yes. The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75512, will fit on your 2007 Mazda CX-7. For many vehicles, the manufacturer will not change the chassis and/or frame platform so the same hitch can fit multiple years of the same model vehicle. I have included two links below. One is the instructions for the 75512 hitch. The other link is for all the hitches that will fit your 2007 CX-7.
I also recommend adding trailer wiring to provide a 4-Way trailer connection at the rear of the vehicle. If you do...

- The Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap part # 18050 is not required for any hitch mounted accessories when using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75512 which is a fit for your 2008 Mazda CX-7. It can however be used to minimize moment of the hitch mounted accessories like your bike rack but it is only required on certain Curt trailer hitches for warranty purposes.

- The Thule Passage trunk mounted 2 bike rack you referenced, part # TH910XT is indeed a fit for your 2012 Mazda 3 Sport Sedan. I have confirmed this with Thule.
If you're planning on carrying women's bikes with a step-through frame or a bike with a sharply angled top tube like some hybrids, you might want to consider using a frame adapter like part # 64005. The adapter attaches between the seat post and the handlebar gooseneck and provides a level attachment for the bike rack. This way,...

- The bottom support arm of the Thule OutWay Platform # TH65JV that you referenced sits on top of your 2010 Mazda CX-7 bumper as noted on the attached picture.
Also in the attached picture are all the measurements of the OutWay in relation to your vehicle. From the bottom of the arm that rests on your bumper to the bottom below where your wheel sit is 2.358 centimeters (6 inches).
Your bikes when loaded on the OutWay Platform rack will not have contact with your vehicle.

- The crossbars on your 2011 Mazda CX7 are within the mounting range, 25-7/8", 27-7/8", or 29-7/8" apart on center, for the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box, # SR7018. But, there is another measurement that you will need to take to determine if this cargo box is a fit. Measure the width of the crossbars. If they are less than 4 inches wide the box will fit.

- According to one of our friends at Curt although your CX-7 has the port on the passenger side, using part # C55593 would not provide all the lighting necessary for your trailer. Not all of the wiring connections were made.
For your CX-7, part # 118405 would be the correct wiring harness to use. The T-1 would connect inline with the existing wiring behind each tail light assembly. A wire also needs to be ran under the vehicle to the engine compartment ultimately connecting to the positive...

- For your 2010 Mazda CX-7 I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" Item # 75512. This hitch offers a 2" x 2" receiver tube opening. Having the 2" x 2" receiver tube opening rather than the 1-1/4" allows you to use the hitch for a lot of different accessories. With the 1-1/4" you would be limited to certain hitch mounted accessories. It also has a pre-welded bracket so when you install your wiring if you wanted to route it outside the vehicle...

- In order to determine if the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket, # C18115, will fit your 2007 Mazda CX-7, you will need to measure the thickness of the crossbars. If they are less than 3 inches thick, the basket will fit, provided the crossbar spread, center to center, is at least 15 inches. I have included a link to the installation details for you to view.
I did find that the Yakima LoadWarrior # Y07070, is a direct fit to the optional crossbars on a 2007 Mazda CX-7. I linked a video review...

This hitch is a custom fit for your CX-7, does not require drilling to install, and has a 3,500 lb towing capacity. If you are using it for towing and need a trailer wiring harness, the correct fit for your 2010 CX-7 is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole...
view full answer... - Will the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Carrier # TH45JV Fit a 2011 Mazda CX-7
- The ThulOutWay 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH45JV, will fit the 2011 Mazda CX-7 as long as it does not have a spoiler. Also, the rear wiper can not be used when the bike carrier is attached to the car.
I am including a link to the installation instructions and a video link of a review on the Thule bike carrier.
If you are planning on using the bike carrier for children's or women's bikes, I would recommend a frame adapter like the Thule Bike Adapter Bar, part # TH982XT. This frame adapter...
view full answer... - Locking Hitch Pin Recommendation for the Thule Vertex Bike Rack
- I do have a threaded, locking hitch pin for your Thule Vertex bike rack, but the Heininger Threaded Hitch Pin, # HE6033, will not work with the Vertex bike rack because the threaded portion of the Heininger hitch pin is too large to fit in the hitch pin hole of the Vertex bike rack. I pulled the Heininger hitch pin from my warehouse to test it with the Vertex bike rack and verified that they were not compatible.
Instead, you will want the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock, # THSTL2. This hitch...
