Best 2016 MazdaCX-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 on a 2016 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 in an inch and a quarter configuration. But 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

Curt Trailer Hitch Installation - 2016 Mazda CX-9- Video
Today on our 2016 Mazda CX-9, we'll be installing the Curt Class 3 trailer hitch receiver, part number C13284. All right, here's what looks like installed, as you can see, it's nice and tucked up underneath our back bumper here, you don't have to have any of the frame sticking down, just the Class 3 2" receiver itself hangs down, with our easy to use safety chain loops here that are on the bottom of our receiver. This hitch has a nice collar welded on around the back of it, to give you a nice finished appearance, and to help give you a high-end look on your vehicle. This hitch has a 600 lb max tongue weight rating, and a 4,000 lb max gross trailer weight rating. If you we're to step up to weight distribution, the tongue weight rating stays the same, at 600 lbs, but the max gross trailer weight rating increases to 5,000 lbs. We have our standard 5/8" diameter hitch pin hole to secure any hitch mounted accessories we may have. This hitch features a nice, high gloss black powder coat finish, that will give us many years of rust and corrosion-free service. Now for a few measurements to better assist you in choosing any hitch mounted accessory you may need, such the ball mount, bike rack, or cargo carrier, you're looking at about 6" from the center of the 5/8" diameter hitch pin hole to the rearmost point on the back bumper. About 14" from the ground to the top of the Class 3 2" receiver opening. Here's what our hitch comes with, we have our hitch here, as you can see, it's a nice solid construction, no bolting together, no welding required, it's all one piece, ready to bolt on to the vehicle. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2016 Mazda CX-9 - Draw-Tite- Video
Today, in our 2016 Mazda CX-9, we'll be installing the Draw-Tite Class III Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver, part number 76020. Here's what our hitch looks like installed. As you can see, nothing hangs down below our bumper cover except for the Class III 2-inch receiver itself, and our safety chain loops right here. You may notice that there's two pins on the side of our receiver. The back one here, more towards the front of the vehicle, is your standard 5/8-inch diameter hitch pin hole to secure your ball mount, your bike rack, or your cargo carrier. This smaller hole is for a J-Pin stabilization device, which we have available separately on our website. more
