etrailer Trailer Hitch Installation - 2017 Mazda CX-5- Video
Hi there Mazda owners. Today, on your 2017 Mazda CX-5, we're gonna be having a look at, and showing you, how to install etrailer's Class 3, 2-Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver. The cross tube is hidden completely behind the bumper, but you don't need to remove the fascia to install it, so that's nice. You're only gonna see the receiver here at the back, and it does stick out a little bit, it is, kind of, noticeable because of how far it sticks back, but I don't think it detracts from the looks of the vehicle too much. This hitch uses a five eighths inch hitch pinning clip. Now, one doesn't come included with the hitch, but we've got plenty available, here at etrailer. more
