Trailer Hitch Installation - 2012 Mazda CX-7 - Draw-Tite- Video

Today on our 2012 Mazda CX7, we're going to take a look at and show you how to install the Draw-Tite Max frame trailer hitch receiver, this is a custom fit class 3 2 inch by 2 inch receiver, part number is 75512. Here's what our hitch is going to look like installed, it's going to give us a nice clean look, the main cross tube's completely hidden in behind the bumper there, really just going to see your receiver tube opening, safety chain connection points, eve hidden right here this is going to be a bracket for mounting wiring, it's got 3 pre-drilled holes in it, we're going to have our wiring right there to the side, it's really a nice hitch setup, pretty convenient. They'll have the rounded reinforcement collar around the end here, it's going to give us a pretty soft look, and then you've got your safety chain connection points down here, these are going to be a rolled steel kind of a style connection point, shouldn't have any issues getting whatever kind of hook that you've got connected there. On the side of our hitch we're going to have 2 holes, a larger 5 inch diameter pinhole closer to the front of the vehicle, that's what we secure everything with. The smaller hole right behind it, that's for use with the J-Pin stabilization system. We also have several anti-rattle devices, hitch pins, hitch pins locks, and I think all of those would work pretty well on it without any kind of issue. The hitch offers a 350 pound tongue weight rating, that's going to be the maximum downward force we can put here at our receiver tube opening. more
