Expert Reply:
The trailer hitch receiver that I recommend for a 2018 Mazda CX-5 is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98902. The etrailer is one of the most cost effective options available but it has most of the same features as the other more expensive options. These features include as an easy bolt-on install, hidden crosstube design for the best appearance, and 2" receiver which is most widely compatible with all your factory hitch mounted accessories from bike racks to cargo carriers. I have attached an install video for you on a slightly older model so you can see how it's done.
That said, if money is not an issue and you are truly looking for the best hitch available that would be the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver part # SH35MR since you can remove the receiver while not in use for a completely hidden, factory look.
