Perfect for light-duty towing, this custom, vehicle trailer hitch receiver features fully welded, gloss powder coated steel construction. Drawbar sold separately.I installed this on my '05 Mazda 6 Wagon. I purchase all my hitch / kit needs from Etrailer. ALWAYS great!! As far as Curt.. This hitch without a doubt has been the absolute worst hitch I've had / done... installation was easy. I'm not really a fan of the plate section being mounted to the extremely thin spare tire well.. while the rear plate is mounted into a frame section I would HIGHLY recommend not pushing the weight limit on these! The receiving end / opening is super sloppy so when your hitch is installed it's real wobbly and that leads to annoying clanking noise... Over all not impressed but , it is what it is.
The unit may not have had the exact fit for our Mazda 6, but it was adequate to install solidly and quickly. The Mazda 6 model selection for ordering is generalized and may not provide for all model variations. Build of the kit is solid and has good instructions.
I haven't really towed with it, but installation of the hitch itself was a breeze on my Mazda 6. One word of advice is do not thread the carriage bolts too far on to the fish tool. Was actually a huge pain to get it off the bolt w/o damaging it so I could use it for bolt #2. I thoroughly destroyed the fish tool removing it from the 2nd bolt. Good thing it was only needed twice. Other than that, the most difficult part of the install was the wiring kit. The main part of the kit (all the stuff in the trunk) was a breeze, but running a power wire from the trunk area under the car up to the battery was always a pain as I fully expected it to be. But again, not too bad at all.
Ordering from etrailer.com was great BTW. I ordered it on a Sunday night and the product was on my doorstep Wednesday, all parts accounted for, just like i ordered. This is the 2nd hitch I've ordered from etrailer.com in the span of a year. Had a great experience 2st time as well.

Do you have a sedan or wagon? I want to know if it fits a 2007 Mazda 6i sport sedan.

Super fast shipping! Great price and fairly easy install. Now I can tow my kayaks!
Great design. Very simple to install if you have some help holding the bumper cover out of the way. The hitch instructions are good and no vibration on the heat shield or anything else.
Hitch went on fairly easily, not easy, although another set of hands would have helped greatly! Nevertheless, was able to do it myself with few problems. One has to really look to see that it's even on the car without the receiver in place.
Easily installed and well-designed for our Mazda 6. In addition, the price is excellent. I wouldn't tow a heavy camper with this hitch, but then again, since the car has a 2.3 liter engine, it wouldn't be a consideration, anyway.
quality product. easy to install!

I appreciate the honest review. One thing that you said was that the receiver opening was wobbly. I wanted to recommend an anti-rattle device like part # RM-061-125 that reduces the movement of say a ball mount in the receiver.
