  • Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes Ground Clearance for Low Vehicle
  • The Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # HLY94FR would be a good option for your 2019 Mazda Miata. It has a 9 inch rise in the shank that will give you increases ground clearance because your car sits low. You will just want to be mindful when entering or leaving steep driveways or roads because if it is steep enough you may drag the bike rack.

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch # C11435 be Visible after Installed on 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11435 referenced in your question is a Class I trailer hitch and is confirmed to fit your 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata. The hitch will always be somewhat visible when looking at your vehicle from behind, whether or not it is being used. The installed hitch though will blend in nicely under your MX-5 along with the exhaust and frame. I have attached an image that shows what the MX-5 will look like with the hitch installed as well as the installation details...

  • Hitch for 2006 Mazda MX-5 Miata with Retractable Hard Top and Dual Exhaust
  • I checked with my contact int he engineering department at Curt Manufacturing. I was told that the # C11028 IS indeed compatible with the power retractable hard top models. It is also compatible with dual exhaust equipped models. However, if your MX5 Miata has the appearance package (ground effects package) the hitch will not fit. If your vehicle has the appearance package, there is unfortunately no hitch application available. If you will be using the hitch as an attachment point for...

  • Do You Have To Use Crossbar Of Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar When Flat Towing 2007 Mazda MX-5
  • Since the only base plate kit available for your 2007 Mazda MX-5 Miata is the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 52728-1 you will need to use the crossbar included with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520. To complete your flat towing setup you will also need safety cables, wiring, and a supplemental braking system. If you have not already purchased them I recommend the following: Safety Cables: RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000 lbs # RM-643 Wiring: Roadmaster...

  • How to Tell if a 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata has the Appearance Package to Install Curt # C11028
  • The Appearance Package would dress up the exterior of your 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata by giving you a front air dam, side skirts, and a rear under skirt (which it looks like you have). If you do not have the Appearance Package then the Curt Class I Receiver Hitch # C11028 is a confirmed fit for your Miata. There is some modification required which is reflected in our installation notes: Drilling required for installation Fascia trimming required for installation Exhaust must be temporarily...

  • What Hitches Does Curt Vertical Drawbar D-55007 Fit
  • Curt Vertical Drawbar # D-55007 is a specialty ball mount made for a vertical hitch receiver that faces downward rather than sideways as with hitch # C11028. This is the only aftermarket hitch we offer for the 2006 Mazda MX-5 Miata; it is a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I type. The Curt ball mount # D-55007 is a Class II ball mount and can only be used in a Class II vertical hitch like C11713, C11746 and C11748. None of these hitches fits your 2006 Miata.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatible With A 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata With Appearance Package
  • Yes, I called my contact at Curt Manufacturing and they informed that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11028 is not compatible with the appearance package on your 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata because of the larger rear valence. The hitch receiver will bolt directly into the frame in the factory pre-drilled holes, however, will interfere with the factory bumper. You would either have to swap rear bumpers for a model without the appearance package or drill a hole into your current rear bumper. For...

  • Hitch Availability For a 2006 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  • The only hitch available for a 2006 Mazda MX-5 Miata is the CURT Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 11028, that you have referenced. It has a gross towing weight capacity of 2,000 lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. The ball mount and pin / clip are included.

  • Hitch Adapter to Raise Cargo Carrier on 2007 Mazda Miata
  • There is an adapter you can use to raise your Curt Cargo Carrier # C18145 on your 2007 Mazda Miata though it will reduce the capacity of your Curt Hitch # C11028 by half and require you to use the 2" shank on your cargo carrier. The Brophy # HT5R will give you 5" of rise and has a 2" receiver but since your cargo carrier weighs 29 lbs it would limit you to carrying 71 lbs of cargo with your carrier. I do recommend using Hitch Receiver Lock # 5200 to lock the adapter in your receiver. I've...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Fit 2007 Mazda MX-5 Miata Touring and Bike Rack Recommendation
  • The only way to positively confirm what features your 2007 Mazda MX-5 Miata has is to contact your local Mazda dealer with your VIN. If they tell you that you don't have the appearance package then the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11028 will definitely fit. We recommend taking to a local trusted shop as we don't have anybody that we specifically recommend. For a bike rack I recommend the Kuat Beta # B202-114 because it is a stylish bike rack with an aluminum construction so you know...

  • SeaSucker Talon Roof Rack-Fork Mount-Vacuum Cup Mounted on Mazda MX5 RF
  • The SeaSucker Talon Roof Bike Rack # 298-BT1004 that you referenced would easily fit on the roof and rear trunk lid of your 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata. I looked up pictures of the roof and rear window/trunk lid and I don't foresee any issues with front sprocket clearance but that is also dependent on the bike you have. Either way though I am sure you could position the rack so that it fits well. You would probably need to stagger the front cups of the front mount attached to the roof and then...

  • Would Kuat Sherpa Work Well with 2016 Mazda Miata with Curt Hitch Installed
  • It can be a bit interesting fitting the stabilizer strap part # 18050 to a platform bike rack like the Kuat Sherpa part # SH22B but basically you have to run the strap from the trunk lid to the base of the rack where the rails meet shank of the rack. This would be an excellent bike rack though. Kuat makes some of the best bike racks available so I know you will like it with your 2016 Mazda Miata with Curt hitch # C11435 installed.

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2007 Mazda Miata Convertible
  • Curt trailer hitch # C11028 is the only option for a 2007 Mazda Miata. It does fit convertible models. It will not fit models that have the appearance package which is a body kit that is different from other versions of the Miata. On it the fascia will hang lower than other models and will interfere with the hitch installation. If you look at the video I have linked the Miata in it does NOT have the appearance package. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or...
