The hitch for my 2023 Mazda cx50 is great after one year that installed it. It looks great after going thru a Minnesota winter of sand and salt. Quality product.



by:

Arrived on time in Oahu, Hawaii. It perfectly fits my 2024 S Preferred. Excellent product. Took me less than an hour to install it. Had a hard time to insert the nuts. Need something to hold the hitch receiver. Will order bike rack next. Thank you so much ETrailer.



by:

Very easy to install on my CX50. Holes aligned perfectly. Had my son help me lift in to place, process took 25 minutes and that included removing/altering some plastic trim. Hitch looks to be very strong and rugged. We will be using for our 4 place MTB rack. Love the hidden frame design that keeps factory ground clearances.

2023 Mazda CX-50

Great hitch for ‘23 Mazda CX50. Installed solo by negotiating into position with a floor jack. Good lineup of fastener holes to body points. Really like the hidden appearance. Working well with our hitch/rack. Been pleased so far with Curt products, recommend.

I bought this hitch for my Mazda cx50. The install was straight forward and I completed it in my driveway. I bought this primarily to haul my bike rack around and it has worked well.

2023 Mazda CX-50

Very easy to install. Looks like it belongs on my Mazda CX-50 and fits like a glove. Took me longer to remove the Mazda lower trim piece below the bumper than rest of the installation. Had no problems installing this by myself, but next time I would have a second person to help hold hitch into place. No special tools needed (19mm socket and #2 Philips screwdriver), did not require doing any modifications to the vehicle or the hitch to have fit. Very satisfied with this hitch, very good welds and paint. You can't go wrong with purchasing this hitch for the Mazda CX-50.



by:

Fits great. Looks great. Looks like a factory install/hitch. Easy installation of 30 minutes.



by:

Great hitch, excellent installation ins tructions.



by:

Very easy to install. Included directions were spot on as for the installation procedure.



by:

Installation was relatively easy. I did it by myself. The fit to the car frame was a little tight. After positioning it in place with a dead blow hammer, it stayed in place while I put the bolts in.

Excellent fit on my new 2024 Mazda CX-50. Owner friendly installation process with typical home garage tools. Torque wrench required to complete installation. One helper makes job go smoothly after prep completed. Dealer video provides all the info needed for hassle free install.



by:

Fits like a glove! The only pain was trying to line up the holes myself; didn’t have a helper. The installation is pretty straightforward. Excited to use the hitch to haul my mtn bike this weekend!



by:

Everything installed relatively easy as I hoped it would, as I did the install by myself, bolted right on. The fitment and quality of the hitch is excellent, pleased with the end result. A solid purchase! Thank you.



by:

Hitch arrived having broken through the box in several places.
It appears to be structurally ok but I will have to paint several spots where the original coating was scratched off. Appears the hitch was thrown into the box with no additional protection. This hitch is priced about the same everywhere so I would look to another vendor and maybe they will put some thought into packaging/shipping.



by:

Works as should! Great trailer hitch. Combined with the oem trailer harness it’s a great combo!



by:

Came in two days. Fits perfect. Easy to install. All the support I needed.

This hitch has worked fabulously with my Mazda CX50.

Just purchased a 13510 Curt hitch to fit a 2023 Mazda CX-50. When I unboxed the trailer hitch I was a bit concerned when I didn't instantly see the bolts and instructions, but we found them securely taped to the hitch. After reading the instructions, I verified what I read and saw in the instruction was what was actually under the car. When we bought the hitch we were told that the installation would take about 45 minutes. Well, my wife usually quadruples the time that I give her when I go to work on a car. I am sure you guys can relate to this! However, it actually only took 45 minutes to complete the project. Not only is the product good looking, but it fits perfectly. There is no way for a person to bang their leg on the receiver as it lies under the curvature of the bumper.

2023 Mazda CX-50

Shipped lightning fast to Alaska. I used to things taking longer to getting here but this was the same week. Pretty awesome.

Install was really a sinch. Hardest part was getting the bolts in. Used extra boxes of laminate flooring to rest hitch when putting in, then switched to a tire jack. Real easy.

I also used a drummer to cut the plastic. Broke my blade twice and it flew at me. Definitely be careful of going that route, those blades are brittle.



by:
2023 Mazda CX-50

Extremely easy to install. First time working with a hitch and it couldn’t have been more simple. Product is great quality. The end of the receiver seems to have been scuffed up a little in shipping but should be a quick fix to weatherproof.



by:
2023 Mazda CX-50

Easy install and perfect fit - took about 30 minutes to position it and bolt it in with a jack underneath. Required a little elbow grease and rubber mallet banging to line up the bolt holes as its a very tight fit. Directions were perfect. Used dremel with cutoff wheel to remove the bumper support section - that part took around 30 minutes too.



by:

Hitch must of got bent during shipping cause it didn’t fit right without some fixing



by:

Great hitch. Instructions pretty decent, though they don’t have every step covered. I bought the wiring controller and harness as well. One challenge was getting the power wire from the controller to the battery. I get every vehicle is different, but if they offer instructions for this vehicle, that step should be included.

Install went well. Hitch looks great and functions great also.

Fast shipping. Great packaging. Everything you need included.



by:

As usual, another great experience when purchasing from etrailer. Made numerous buys from this company with zero complaints. Two thumbs up!!

  • Is There A Trailer Hitch For 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid?
    Hello Rob, thanks for getting in touch. The hitches we offer for the 2025 Mazda CX-50 non-hybrid will NOT fit the hybrid model. For example, the Curt Class 3 Hitch # C38BR will fit all models of the 2025 CX-50 excluding the hybrid model. I was able to verify this with the manufacturer. There is no hitch for the hybrid model at this time.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Mazda CX-50
    The best hitch for your 2023 Mazda CX-50 is the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C38BR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Mazda with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It is made in the USA and has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts behind the rear bumper cover leaving only the 2" receiver visible. This not only looks better but it also helps with ground clearance. I have...

  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver For Ground Clearance On a 2023 Mazda CX-50
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C27DR is currently the receiver with the best ground clearance for your 2023 Mazda CX-50.This receiver has a 1-1/4" receiver moving it just slightly higher than the 2" Receiver # C38BR which is also manufactured by Curt. I recommend installing the Wiring Harness # C45FV when you install the receiver. This will provide you with a 4-way connector for connecting to the tail lights on most small trailers you might pull. It can also be used for Auxiliary Lights...

  • 4-Way and 7-Way Trailer Wiring Harness For a 2023 Mazda CX-50 With Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver
    Currently the Vehicle Wiring Harness # C45FV is the only custom fit wiring harness available for your 2023 Mazda CX-50. This harness is for a 4-way flat connector that will fit most of the smaller trailers you may tow. This will likely be the most useful wiring as I see your CX-50 has a maximum towing capacity of 2,000lbs to 3,500lbs depending on your exact factory options. You can always check with your dealer to determine your exact towing capacity. A Mounting Bracket # C58001 will allow...

    There are two Curt trailer hitches that fit your 2024 Mazda CX-50, and between the two, the best option is the one with the 2" receiver: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C38BR The reason to go with the # C38BR and its 2" receiver over the # C27DR and its 1-1/4" receiver is that the larger receiver gives you more - and better - options for accessories like bike racks.

  • How To Calculate Tongue Weight When Carrying A Dirt Bike On A 2023 Mazda CX-50
