Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2023 Mazda CX-5 GT
Question:
Today I purchased a 2023 Mazda CX-5 GT. I want to add a Hitch simply for a bike rack and a cargo carrier. Want to make sure I order the correct one.

Expert Reply:
The Draw-Tite # 76138 you looked at will fit your 2023 Mazda CX-5 GT. However, I recommend the etrailer # e98902 instead. All of the hitches for your vehicle are relatively the same, but the etrailer hitch is unique because of the matte black powder coat finish. This gives it more of an OEM look and does a better job hiding dirt and scratches. This hitch won't have any issues handling a cargo carrier like # C18151 or a bike rack like # BA22B.
I have attached some review and installation videos below for your reference.
