Trailer Hitch Installation - 2009 Mazda 3 - Curt- Video
.Today on our 2009 Mazda 3 we'll be installing the Curt Trailer Hitch in the Class One Inch and a Quarter Receiver Opening, part number C11386. Here's what our hitch looks like installed on our vehicle. Now we'll go ahead and give you a couple measurements in helping you choose some accessories for your hitch, such as a bicycle rack or cargo carrier. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the outer most edge of the bumper is approximately 4-1/2 inches. From the top of the opening in the receiver to the ground is approximately 11-1/2 inches. Now let's go ahead and install our hitch. To begin with we'll need to remove these two plastic fasteners that help hold the lower fascia in place. We can either use a large flat head screwdriver or a trim panel removal tool. more
