Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2014 Mazda 3 Hatchback with LED Taillights

Question:

Hello. Im looking for a sleek trailer hitch for my 2014 Mazda 3 hatchback. From what I see on the site, there are 3 options from Curt, Drawtite and Hidden Hitch. Im only getting this to mount a bike rack for mountain biking. Is Hidden Hitch really hidden or are all 3 suitable? I dont want to see the trailer hitch when I dont have my bike mounted. Thanks

The trailer hitch I recommend is the Draw-Tite part # 24914. This is a Class-l hitch and has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. Unfortunately, none of the hitches we currently offer will be concealed as you will be able to see the cross tube and receiver opening.

Since you don't want to see a hitch when not in use, another option I recommend is the Thule Gateway Pro # TH78VR trunk mount bike rack. It's a 3-bike trunk rack with a maximum weight capacity of 35 pounds per bike. You can fold it down when not in use or simply remove the bike rack.

I have included a couple FAQ's and installation video for you to look at.
