Will a Trailer Hitch Fit a 2001 Mazda Protege with MP3 Body Kit

Question:

Hi, I have an 01 Mazda mp3 Protege. I want to haul a small 4 foot trailer for my dirt bike. Is there a way to get this hitch or another hitch for my car since i have the mp3 body kit on it? the car sits low but im praying i can find a way to get something to work. Thank You for any help possible...

If the body kit that you have is lower than the standard rear fascia on a 2001 Mazda Protege, then the only way you will be able to install a trailer hitch is by trimming the body kit to allow access to the receiver. You could then use the Hidden Hitch trailer hitch, # 60927, that comes with a ball mount, pin, and clip.

For a ball you can use # 19256 for 1-7/8 inch diameter or # 19258 for a 2 inch diameter. I have included links to the installation instructions for both hitches for you to view.

For trailer wiring use # 119178KIT. I linked instructions for the wiring as well.
