  • Would the Exhaust of a 2016 Mazda 3 Melt Bike Tires when Using Swagman XC S64650
  • The distance from the hitch pin hole of the Swagman bike rack part # S64650 to the nearest wheel hoop is 10-1/2 inches. The shank of this rack also has a rise of 4 inches built into it. The tires of your bikes would be far enough away from the exhaust that you wouldn't have any problems. With this bike rack we have not had any issues with exhaust so I can confidently say you will be fine. If you do not have a hitch already you would want the Draw-Tite part # 24914 which has been confirmed...

  • Will Wiring Harness 118420 Fit a 2006 Mazda 3 Grand Touring
  • My contact at TowReady confirmed that the 2006 Mazda 3 Grand Touring models have differently shaped connectors than the standard models, so the # 118420 wiring harness would not be able to be installed on your vehicle. I recommend using taillight converter # C56175 to wire your vehicle for towing. I have included a link to the installation instructions for the converter.

  • Which Snow Chains for a 2010 Mazda 3
  • Your Mazda 3, if equipped with the factory wheels and tires, you can use either the Thule CB12 Size 090 chains, part # TH01221090 or the Thule K-Summit Chains part # TH02230K23. The K-Summit Chains are the easiest and quickest chains to install. The CS10 chains are self-tensioning so unlike basic sets, these chains will tighten themselves. They take more time to install, but they are less expensive when compared to the K-Summit chains.

  • Best Hitch for a 2021 Mazda CX-5
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13315 you were looking at is a great option for your 2021 Mazda CX-5 but I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e98902. These hitches are identical with the exception that the etrailer hitch has a matte black finish that is not only more durable but also looks better once installed. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Mazda with included hardware. You will have no problems pulling your canoe trailer with...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver, Wiring and Ball Mount For Pulling a U-Haul Trailer With a 2022 Mazda CX-9
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13284 is a confirmed fit for your 2022 Mazda CX-9. I verified this with Curt. When we installed this on a 2020 CX-9 we found the receiver height to be 13-1/2" from the ground. I recommend the etrailer 2-3/4" Rise or 4" Drop Ball Mount Kit # EBMK4 as its 2-3/4" rise will put you at 16-1/4" and most trailers have a 16" coupler height. You will also need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118278 to operate the trailer lights on the U-Haul trailer. The Mounting...

  • How To Tell If a 2016 Mazda CX-5 is Prior or Mid-Year
  • The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98902 is what I recommend for a 2016 Mazda CX-5. It offers a bolt-on fit with no cutting or drilling required. It fits both pre and mid-year models so you don't have to worry about checking this but if you want to know, the date of manufacturer will be on a white sticker in the door jamb. This hitch will then work great for towing or hitch mounted accessories.

  • Does the Curt C13284 Hitch Fit a 2023 Mazda CX-9?
  • According to Curt the Item # C13284 hitch you were looking at stopped fitting the CX-9's after the 2022 model year. The correct hitch for your 2023 Mazda CX-9 is the Draw-Tite item # 76020.

  • Adapter to Flat Tow a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with EZ4 Base Plates Using a Blue Ox Tow Bar
  • The adapter # RM-032 is a match for the EZ4 base plate kit that fits your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, part # RM-521448-4. There is no adjsutment to be made. If you need other parts to setup the Jeep to be towed I recommend using the Hopkins wiring kit, part # HM56200, for lighting.

  • What Is The Best Hitch For Mazda CX-30 2021
