Best 2012 Mazda 3 Trailer Hitch

Today we're going to be taking a look at the best hitches available for the 2012 Mazda 3 hatchback. Now both our hitches are going to be Class 1 offerings, which is about all the weight we're going to be able to carry with our Mazda 3 anyway. First we've got our Draw-Tite. This is part number 24843. It's going to have the 1-1/4" by 1-1/4" receiver tube opening just like our CURT, which we have here. This is part number C11383.

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2012 Mazda 3 - Draw-Tite

Today on our 2012 Mazda 3 we're going to be taking a look at installing the Draw-Tite sport-frame class 1 trailer hitch receiver. Part number 24843. Here's what this hitch is going to look like once it's installed on the vehicle. What I like most about this hitch, is how well hidden it is, and really doesn't add much to the look of your vehicle. It's going to feature the inch and a quarter by inch and a quarter receiver tube opening. Features a half inch hitch pinhole, which is going to be good for securing all off your class 1 accessories. It's got the rolled steel safety chain loops underneath here, which would make it nice and easy to connect safety chain from just about any angle. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2012 Mazda 3 - Curt

Today on our 2012 Mazda 3, we're going to be taking a look at and installing the Curt class 1 trailer hitch receiver, part number C11383. Here's what this hitch is going to look like once it's installed on the vehicle. What I like most about it is how far out the receiver tube comes, so it's going to give you plenty of access to use just about any accessory with this hitch. It tucks up tightly to the underside of the facia and this way the only thing you're going to see is the receiver tube and safety chain connection points. This hitch features the 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch receiver tube opening with welded on reinforcement collar to give it a nice look ad also help with durability. Feature the 1/2 hitch pinhole, which is going to be good for securing any of your class 1 accessories. This hitch features a 200 pound max tongue weight rating, which is the downward force on the inside edge of the receiver tube opening here. more
