2015 Mazda6 Sport Grey
Hey guys, I am new to the forums but I have enjoyed reading some of the things on here!

I recently purchased a 2015 meteor grey Mazda6 Sport and I am looking to get a hitch for the car and a hitch-mount bike rack that folds down. Anyone here have any suggestions for either or both of those?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure if this response is too late, but I got this for my car. It's been great. However, i'm not sure about the bike mount...most will fit this hitch though.

Hey it is too late, i have already purchased a hitch but it happens to be the same one. Now I am searching for a 2-bike rack hitch mount that isnt 400 dollars. I think I did find this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned) that may work out.

thanks.
 
I forgot to respond but I did eventually get the hitch and installed it in about 45 minutes. There are 6 holes under the trunk. 4 for mounting and 2 to help get the bolt and washer on the top side of the hole and sticking out underneath.

After all 4 bolts are sticking out through the holes, lift the hitch up to the holes and thread the nuts on tight. Instructions can also be found here: http://www.etrailer.com/instructions.aspx?pn=C11356


btw, for trailer wiring, I found a grounding spot in the trunk, but for power I used the 12V cigarette lighter connection and have a long cable through the backseats that feeds to the plug in the dashboard. I did not want to get under the car and run a wire the entire length all the way to the battery. This seems to work just fine and I bundle up the wires and store with the spare when not in use.

Sorry I know this is a super late response but I hope this helps.
