Question:
Mazda 3, 2011 hitch and wiring?
asked by: Marc
Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch # C11393 is a great option for your '11 Mazda3 Sedan because it is a bolt-on installation that does not require drilling into your Mazda to install, and is mostly concealed except for a part of the receiver.
C45521 which does come with a pin and clip to keep it secure to your hitch. For a hitch ball, the correct one will depend on the size of your trailer's coupler; you will need either 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # 19256 or 2" Hitch Ball # 19258.
To add a 4-flat to power your trailer's lights you will need a wiring harness and the correct one will depend on of your '11 Mazda3 has LED taillights or not. If you DO NOT have LED taillights the correct harness is # 118420.
If you DO have LED taillights you will need to use the Hopkins Active Tail Light Converter with Install Kit # 46255.
