Mazda 3 Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Mazda 3 in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year and body style, then open CURT 11383. That Class 1 hitch uses a one and one quarter inch receiver for listed 2010 through 2013 Mazda 3 and Mazda 3 Sport years on the live card, and it is the dedicated Mazda 3 hitch we keep in stock here. Wiring is a separate carton. CURT 56011 is a four-flat custom harness the live card lists for 2004 through 2013 Mazda 3 sedan among other cars, so confirm hatchback versus sedan notes on each card before you assume lights are covered. Confirm ratings on each live product card, and keep CX-5, CX-9, or Mazda 6 on their own guides when those badges are on the door.

Which CURT hitch fits your Mazda 3

CURT 11383 is the Mazda 3 hitch we stock for listed 2010 through 2013 Mazda 3 and Mazda 3 Sport years. It is a Class 1 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver on the live card. The live description calls out the hatchback body for that window and lists about two thousand pounds gross trailer weight and two hundred pounds tongue weight, but always confirm the numbers and body-style notes on the product card before you load. Pair it with accessories that fit a one and one quarter inch tube.

Parts-counter notes before you click buy

Topic What we tell shoppers
Class 1 reality 11383 is Class 1 with a one and one quarter inch tube. Match pins, locks, covers, and rack shanks to that opening.
Body style honesty The hitch card leans hatchback and Sport for listed years. The harness card lists Mazda 3 sedan for overlapping years. Confirm both cards before you buy.
Wiring honesty Do not assume a later Mazda 3 harness covers a 2010 through 2013 hitch year. Match the year list on 56011.
Receiver size One and one quarter inch accessories fit this Class 1 tube. See the receiver size guide.
Door sticker Hitch class is not the Mazda tow limit. Read the door sticker before you load tongue weight.
Related shelves Keep CX-5, CX-9, and Mazda 6 on their own guides when those badges are on the door.
Install habits Use the CURT install techniques video, then recheck hardware after the first trips. See hitch bolt torque tips.
Lights and fuses Walk lights before the first tow. If a fuse blows after a harness install, open trailer wiring fuse tips.

Year jumps we publish for the Mazda 3 and Mazda 3 Sport. Open the lander that matches the model year and body style on your door sticker, then confirm the live hitch card still lists that year.

These are the Mazda 3 hitch year pages we publish today. Confirm product-card years and hatchback versus sedan notes before you buy. We do not invent hitch SKUs for years that are not on the live cards.
