Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 3 Hatchback

Question:

I am looking to add a trailer hitch to my 2015 Mazda 3 Hatchback. It will be use primarily for putting on a bike rack which I already own. I see that most of the T-hitch bike racks are designed for 2inch hitches and the hitches for the Mazda do not come in that size. Is there any work around for this?

The only hitches available for your 2015 Mazda 3 Hatchback are Class I hitches that have a 1-1/4 inch opening. Hitches with a 2 inch opening are generally reserved for larger capacity vehicles like trucks and SUVs. For a hitch for your vehicle I would recommend the # 24914.

There are bike racks that will fit 1-1/4 inch hitches though.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
