Comparing Trailer Hitches For 2023 Mazda 3 Hatchback and 2023 Honda Civic Hatchback for Bike Rack
Question:
We are considering either a 2023: Mazda3 Hatchback Turbo AWD or a Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring Do you sell hitches for a bike rack for both? And which is easier to install? Thank you

Expert Reply:
Both vehicles you are looking at have a trailer hitch option that would work for a bike rack.
For the 2023 Mazda 3 Hatchback you'd need the Draw-Tite # 24984.
For the 2023 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring you'd need the Draw-Tite #24954
Both of these have 1-1/4" receiver openings so you'll have no problems carrying a bike rack like the Thule Easy Fold # TH903202.
The # 24984 on the Mazda 3 is going to be quite a bit easier to install, as it bolts to the bottom of the frame where the hitch for the Civic hitch mounts behind the rear bumper so it's quite a bit more involved.
