Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2023 Mazda CX-5, we're gonna be showing you how to install the CURT inch and a quarter Trailer Hitch Receiver. Before we do that though, why don't we just take a couple of minutes check this out and make sure it's going to be right for you.

If you want a little bit more, if you plan on doing some towing or using larger bike racks or cargo carriers, I usually recommend the larger two inch by two inch hitch. There's just a lot more stuff available for those, and they're a little more heavy duty, a little more capable, if you're interested in those, the one that I particularly like is the etrailer.com one. more

Ryan: Hey everybody, Ryan here at Etrailer today on our 2019 Mazda CX-5, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Curt trailer hitch receiver.But what I really like about this hitch is that for the most part, it's going to be completely hidden. Really the only thing you're going to be able to see is a receiver tube opening and it's almost going to look like it's part of your car.Now, what kind of separates us is the finish. It's going to have more of a gloss black finish, and in my opinion, it stands out a little bit more. But if that's the look you're going for, then this'll be a great choice for you.Many of our CX-5 customers plan on using their hitch for accessories like cargo carriers and bike racks, let's get to work really good for those and that's really because it's going to give us a good bumper clearance. So what I mean by that, the end of the receiver tube opening is going to sit just behind our bumper and really give us a space we need to use our folding accessories without having to worry about them contacting the back of our Mazda.So this is a class three hitch, so it's going to give us a 2 inch by 2 inch receiver tube opening and a reinforced collar for extra strength. It's going to have the standard 5/8 size pin hole. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2016 Mazda CX-5 - Curt- Video
Speaker 1: Today on this 2016 Mazda CX-5, we're going to review and install the Curt trailer hitch, part number C12170. Now, this is one of the smaller hitches that you can put on your CX-5, and it's great for a variety of applications. First off, it's a trailer hitch, so if you've got a real light-duty trailer, some single axle trailer with 12" wheels on it, this would be a perfect match for that kind of trailer.Also, if you're not going to be pulling a trailer, this is going to be great for a bicycle rack. This 1 1/4" size does lend you up to a variety of bicycle racks, and up to four bikes carrying capacity, in some cases. Also, if you run out of room inside your vehicle, and you need to use a cargo carrier, this will work with a variety of those as well.As you can see, not much is showing on the hitch. All we have is our 1 1/4" opening right here, and our safety chain loops. more
