Recommended 3 Bike Carrier For 2015 Mazda 6

Question:

Im looking for a Class II hitch that can allow us to trailer 3 bikes on our 2015 Mazda 6. I seem only to be able to find Class I hitches for this car. Do you know of any Class II options I might look into?

For your 2015 Mazda 6, there is not a Class II trailer hitch receiver available, so any hitch mounted rack would limit you to the Class I restriction of 2 bikes. To carry 3 bikes on your vehicle, I recommend the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02633. This trunk mounted carrier is confirmed to fit your Mazda 6, and comes with the integrated security straps and cable to deter theft. The anti-sway cradles will keep your bikes from coming in contact with each other or your vehicle. The zip strips make loading and unloading very easy.

I've attached a video to assist. I also recommend the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes # 64005. This adapter bar is very similar to other companies but at a great value. It creates a top frame rail between your seat post and handlebars for level transport and proper ground clearance.
