Best 2018 Mazda CX-9 Trailer Hitch Options- Video
Hello, neighbors. it's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at the best trailer hitch options for a 2018 Mazda CX-9. Now we're gonna be looking at three of the best options. In my personal opinion, our neighbor today has an inch and a quarter installed on their CX-9, and that's because they already have a bike rack that is an inch and a quarter configuration. But if unless you're in that situation, I would highly suggest looking at the two inch, not only do you get more applications as far as accessories, but also you get more weight capacity. Now, the three that we have here today are going to be the Curt, the etrailer and then the Draw-Tite. more
