Solution for Hitch Mounted 3-Bike Rack on 2018 Mazda 6 Sport
Question:
Can I put a bike rack for 3 bikes with a 2 inch receiver on a 2018 Mazda 6 sport?
asked by: Sue W
Expert Reply:
The only option for a hitch on your 2018 Mazda 6 is a Class I hitch # C11356. This has a 1-1/4" receiver so a bike rack for a 2" hitch would not be an option. Also, a Class I hitch is going to be limited to 2 bikes, even if you use a 3-bike rack like the # S63365. Instead, you can use a trunk bike rack like the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633. This is confirmed to fit your Mazda 6 Sport and has a capacity of 35 lbs per bike or 90 lbs total when carrying 3 bikes.
