What's the best hitch for my 2019 Mazda CX-5 touring model? I have a Swagman platform rack for two bikes with the hitch adapter.

The best trailer hitch option for your 2019 Mazda CX-5 is the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98902. This is a no-drill, class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver opening, which will not only work great with any Swagman platform combo rack, like the Swagman Chinook # S64683, but it's also the most versatile option since it's compatible with a much larger variety of hitch mounted accessories.

Something that sets the hitch apart from other options is its matte black finish. This makes it less susceptible to clear coat scratches than options with a glossy finish. Plus, aesthetically speaking, it delivers a more sporty or rugged look - for the tiny portion of the hitch that will remain exposed. As you can see in the attached photo, the hitch is mostly hidden behind the rear bumper with the square receiver being the only visible portion.

Check out the installation video I've attached for you at the bottom of the page.
