Expert Reply:
The highest capacity trailer hitch offered for a 2009 Mazda 3 is the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24816 which is rated at 2,000 lbs of gross trailer and 200 lbs of tongue weight. In regards to tongue weight, this includes the weight of the carrier and everything on it.
If you need a higher tongue weight, the only option is a trailer which will also require wiring like the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56011.
