Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2010 Mazda 3
Question:
Thinking of installing a tow hitch on my 2.0 litre 2010 mazda 3. Question lies is my circuit going to overload after installation? Will i need to buy the Tow Ready Modulite protector or will i be okay without it. Thanks!

Depending on the style of your 2010 Mazda 3 we have exactly what you would need for a hitch and wiring. If you have a hatch back you would want the Draw Tite hitch part # 24843 and if you have a sedan you would want the Curt # C11393.
If you have the LED taillights you would want the # 119178KIT that is a protected module that draws power from the positive post of your vehicle battery to power the trailer's taillights. If you don't have the LED taillights you would instead want the # 118420. This does not require you to run a power wire to the vehicle battery.
