Best Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for a 2020 Mazda 3 Hatchback

Question:

I just bought a 2020 Mazda 3 Hatch and need to install a trailer hitch for a bike rack. What do you have?

The trailer hitch available for a Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C98BR which also just so happens to be the only option at this time. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver is a complete bolt-on option with no drilling required whatsoever. I have attached the install instructions for you.

If you don't already have a bike rack, my favorite is the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack part # KU74FR which has an open frame design therefore easy to load your bikes on as you just walk them in and set them down on the trays. The Kuat Transfer V2 is also very lightweight at only 47 lbs therefore easy to take on and off the vehicle.

You will also need a stabilizer strap # 18050 when using this hitch with a bike rack or a cargo carrier.
