Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Adapter for 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch on 2018 Mazda CX-3

Question:

Hi! Can you recommend a 2inch hitch for my new Mazda CX3 Touring 2018? I know 2inch hitches dont correspond to smaller cars but I need it to match my Kuat bike rack which I already own and love. Thanks

There is not a 2 inch hitch receiver available for your 2018 Mazda CX-3, so to make your Kuat Bike Rack compatible, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24933 along with the Brophy Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD. This adapter is Class I compatible but will reduce the tongue weight of your hitch by 50% when used. It will make your bike rack compatible with your vehicle as long as you remain within the reduced weight restriction.
