Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2021 Mazda CX-5
Question:
Hello, I have a 2021 Mazda CX-5 Turbo. Can you please tell me which tow hitch I need and all the necessary additional parts? I’ll mostly be using it for a bike rack but may end up wanting to tow something small at times. Thank you!

Expert Reply:
For your 2021 Mazda CX-5 Turbo the etrailer hitch part # e98902 would be your best option. It's a 2 inch hitch with higher capacities that is mostly hidden. The 2 inch size has the most hitch accessories like bike racks made for it and also has higher weight capacities than the 1-1/4 inch size which will help with the bike rack and also if you end up towing.
You'll need trailer wiring to tow your trailer which for that we have the Tekonsha kit part # 118746 which is our most reliable and easy to install option.
