Draw Tite or Curt Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Mazda 3 Hatchback
Question:
Draw-tite vs curt? I have a 2014 mazda 3 hatchback, could you tell me what are the differences between these two hitchs? Would look better higher up/more hidden? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
For your 2014 Mazda 3 Hatchback I would recommend the Draw Tite Hitch part # 24914 because it has a shorter install time listed and because unlike the Curt you would not need to use a stabilizer strap with it if you planned on carrying a bike rack.
For trailer wiring you would want the part # 118405 as it is a confirmed fit. For a ball mount you would want the part # 3593. Then for a 2 inch ball part # 19258 or 1-7/8inch ball # 19256.
