Connect to your lifestyle with a custom hitch receiver from CURT. All of our custom hitches are designed for a vehicle-specific fit, manufactured with pride, finished for industry-leading rust resistance and tested to rigorous SAE J684 standards for safety. This class 1 trailer hitch and ball mount combination is designed for a custom fit on select years of the Mazda MX-5 Miata (see application info to verify fitment). The hitch integrates with the vehicle's frame and provides a useful and dependable 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver. The receiver is perfect for attaching the included ball mount and towing a small trailer, or for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted cargo carrier, bike rack or other accessory. This particular class 1 hitch is rated for 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 200 pounds tongue weight (never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). The ball mount included with this trailer hitch quickly and easily installs into the hitch receiver and has a 3/4" trailer ball hole (trailer ball not included). It can be mounted in the rise or drop position to promote level towing. Like all CURT custom hitches, this class 1 hitch is protected with our co-cured finishing process. It is descaled for a smooth surface, immersed in liquid A-coat for rust resistance inside and out, covered with a durable black powder coat and finally co-cured for an industry-leading rust, chip and UV-resistant shield. No matter where you're headed or which season of the year you?re towing in, this CURT hitch is equipped for long-lasting resilience to the elements. It features an open-back receiver for easy cleaning, and it comes with all the hardware necessary for the installation.

The manual specifies a gross load capacity of 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower. Check your vehicle's owner manual for the final towing limit.
Required tools are: socket wrench, 9/16" socket, 11/16" socket, torque wrench, drill, 7/16" drill bit, rotary tool, and cutoff wheel. You will also need the supplied 7/16" fishwire tool (CM-438-FW) to route bolts through the frame rails.
Yes. Step 2 of the installation requires lowering the muffler by removing four rubber isolators. This is necessary for ease of installation. The muffler is raised again in Step 6 after the side plates are secured.
Yes. Drilling is required. Step 8 requires using the hitch as a template to drill remaining holes in the frame rails for 7/16" fasteners. You will need a 7/16" drill bit. The manual also requires enlarging existing access holes in Step 3.
Yes. Step 1 requires trimming a 1 3/4" by 3/4" opening in the center of the lower rear fascia. Use the Fascia Trim Diagram provided in the manual as a guide. A rotary tool with cutoff wheel is recommended for this task.
Trim a 1 3/4" by 3/4" opening in the center of the lower rear fascia. The Fascia Trim Diagram in the manual shows the exact location and dimensions.
Yes. Step 3 requires removing the plastic caps on the outside of each frame rail and enlarging the access holes to allow CM-SP2 spacers and 7/16" carriage bolts to pass through. The Hole Enlargement Diagram in the manual shows the required enlargement.
The kit includes: 6 carriage bolts 7/16-14 x 1 1/2", 4 square hole spacers (CM-SP2), 6 hex flange nuts 7/16-14, 8 carriage bolts 3/8-16 x 1", 1 fishwire tool (CM-438-FW), 8 hex flange nuts (HFN3816), 1 driver side plate (CM-11028-DS), and 1 passenger side plate (CM-11028-PS).
The installation sequence is: (1) trim fascia opening, (2) lower muffler, (3) remove and enlarge frame rail access holes, (4) install center section with 7/16" bolts and nuts, (5) fishwire 7/16" bolts and spacers through frame rails, (6) raise muffler and secure side plates with 7/16" hardware, (7) loosely install all 3/8" bolts and nuts, (8) torque 3/8" fasteners to 45 lb-ft, (9) drill remaining frame rail holes using hitch as template, (10) fishwire remaining 7/16" bolts and spacers, secure with nuts, reinstall plastic plugs, and (11) torque all 7/16" fasteners to 70 lb-ft.
The 7/16" fishwire tool (CM-438-FW) is used to route 7/16" carriage bolts and CM-SP2 spacers through the enlarged access holes in the frame rails and out through existing or newly drilled holes. This allows you to secure the hitch to the frame without direct access to the bolt ends.
Leave the 3/8" fasteners loose initially. Step 7 instructs you to loosely install all eight 3/8" carriage bolts and nuts through the side plates and center section mounting plates. Tighten them to 45 lb-ft only after all bolts are in place (Step 8). The 7/16" fasteners are torqued to 70 lb-ft in the final step.
Torque all 3/8" fasteners to 45 lb-ft. These are the carriage bolts and nuts that secure the side plates and center section mounting plates.
Torque all 7/16" fasteners to 70 lb-ft. These are the carriage bolts and hex flange nuts that secure the hitch to the frame rails.
The kit includes 6 carriage bolts sized 7/16-14 x 1 1/2". These are used with the CM-SP2 spacers to secure the hitch to the frame rails.
The kit includes 8 carriage bolts sized 3/8-16 x 1 LG. (1 inch long). These are used to secure the side plates and center section mounting plates.
The CM-SP2 spacers are 0.250" x 0.88" x 2.25" square hole spacers. Four are included in the kit. They are used with the 7/16" carriage bolts to secure the hitch to the frame rails through the enlarged access holes.
After installation, periodically check that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This is especially important before towing. Verify that all bolts remain at their specified torque values (45 lb-ft for 3/8" fasteners and 70 lb-ft for 7/16" fasteners).
The manual instructs you to periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. No specific interval is stated, but regular inspection before towing is recommended.
