Trailer Hitch Available for a 2012 Mazda 5 Hatchback

Question:

I cant find the trailer hitch for my new 2012 mazda5. The only one I found is the part3 11338 which is for 2010 mazda5. Will 11338 work for 2012 model or there will be a new one coming out soon for 2012 model? Thanks.

I spoke with my contact at Curt and he said they have just released the Curt Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # C11127 for the 2012 Mazda 5 Hatchback. It is a Class I hitch with a 2,000 lbs towing weight capacity and a 200 lb tongue weight capacity. The ball mount and pin and clip are included.

The instructions say you will have to lower the exhaust, enlarge access holes on the frame, and trim the heat shield. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Curt hitch.

If you will be towing with this hitch you will want to check your owners manual or the Mazda dealer for the towing capacity of your 2012 Mazda 5 Hatchback.

To complete your towing setup, you will need the following items:

Curt 2 Inch Hitch Ball, part # A-82, or Curt 1-7/8 Inch Hitch Ball, part # A-80
Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness, part # 56016

I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Curt wiring harness.
