Installation of Curt Trailer Hitch on 2020 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring Models

Question

Question:

2020 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring. All of the videos show a small narrow plastic piece being removed between the bumper and the exhaust as the first step. The instructions say that GT models have an additional piece that needs removed. Is this just referring to that same piece, or is there an additional piece of trim that is not shown in the videos?

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13315 is a fit for your 2020 Mazda CX-5 GT. The Grand Touring models have an additional underbody trim piece that will need to be permanently removed for hitch installation. This is above what is shown in the attached video as that is not a GT model. .
