Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Mazda 3 Hatchback
Question:
Hi, I want to do some light towing with my Mazda 3. I see hutches for sale, however, the car manual says so not tow tog this vehicle. So Im a little confused. Can the car handle light towing? Thanks for the help.

The final authority for whether or not a vehicle can tow a trailer will be the owners manual for the vehicle. There are other uses for trailer hitches on vehicles that aren't rated to tow like your Mazda 3 Hatchback. Such as carrying bike racks or cargo carriers.
The Curt hitch part # C11377 has been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Mazda 3 hatchback.
Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a review video for you to check for the strap as well.
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.
