    I am looking into installing a hitch on my Mazda 3. I wanted to see if anyone has installed a hitch on this particular year and any recommendations to which product they like the most for towing bikes and smaller trailers.

    Has anyone here installed a trailer hitch on their MS3 GT HB? etrailer.com has a Draw-Tite that looks like it fits and stays pretty well hidden. My purpose for now is to have a bicycle carrier. https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hitch/Mazda/3/2009/24816.html?vehicleID=2009201590

    Hi guys Does anyone has any experience with a trailer hitch on a lowered mz3? The installation manuals of all the hitches available here in the EU say that this is not possible.

    Has anyone had experience towing with the 2.5L manual? I want to put a hitch on my sedan (against the better judgment of the owners manual) There's a genpu in my town that I see towing sleds occasionally, so I know it can be done. Just a matter on if it's reasonable or not.

    :frown2:Has anybody found a trailer hitch that fits the 2019 Mazda 3 Hatchback? I have tried both the Draw-Tite 24914 and Curt 11377 hitches, and neither of them fit. The holes didn't line up, and there are no weld-nuts in the frame, as are shown in the Draw-Tite installation instructions...

    Hi! I am moving across the country (North to South) and have concocted a plan to install a towing package and pull a 5’ x 8’ U-Haul trailer with my 2012 Mazda3. I have a few questions... 1. Is this actually feasible? It seems to be, based on my research...but I have yet to talk to someone who...

    Anyone experience negative effects after installing the curt hitch? It seems fairly low to the ground, and the crossbar isn't tucked up fully against the bumper. I've attached a picture from an Amazon review. Is the draw-tite any better? I know the eco-hitch is the best bet, the price is...

    Hi guys, I am wondering if anyone have any experiences with trailer hitches. I am looking to buy one for my 2011 mazda 3 sedan. Does it matter which brand I get? or should all of them be pretty reliable? I am planning to also get a Thule trailer hitch bike rack.

    I'm going to be adding a hitch to my 2017 hatchback for hauling bikes. Looks like there are three options: 1. Curt 2. Hidden Hitch/ Drawtite 3. Ecohitch As of right now, the Hidden Hitch/Drawtite and Ecohitch have been updated to include the 2017 model. Curt has not been updated yet. I...

    Just bought a new 2016 Mazda 3 Hatchback. I need a receiver hitch for the back. I want a receiver hitch that does not show the crossbar, just the receiver itself below the bumper. I looks to me like the only option is the very expensive ($275) Torklift hitch, even though Curt, Hidden Hitch and...

    As the title says, has anyone installed a hitch on a 3 sedan? If so, can you share pictures, specifically the hitch/bumper area? After reading the installation how-to by GirchyGirchy, it seems simple enough to do, but the Curt installation guide it says that you need to trim the bumper. I would...

    Hi all, I'm new to the site and Mazda ownership. I recently picked up a 2015 M3 GT HB with the appearance package and I'd like to put a hitch on it to carry my bike - it's getting old having to have the back seats folded down all the time and having to take the front wheel off the bike and...

    Hi, I just picked up my 2015 Mazda 3 Sport GS last month and decided to get the so called "OEM" trailer hitch from the dealership and installed by them. Does this look OEM to you guys? To me, it looks like it was installed improperly as it hangs quite a bit further down than what I see. Why...
