However you define adventure -- whether it's climbing onto the back of a mountain bike, hunting from the top of a tree stand or camping with the family a long way from nowhere -- CURT class 1 hitches provide a light-duty towing receiver to help you Bring It. Each is made to fit a specific vehicle, providing easier installation, a better fit and optimal towing capacity. Custom class 1 trailer hitches are available for a variety of smaller vehicle types, including the compact car, crossover, minivan and small SUV. This particular class 1 hitch is designed to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Mazda 6 (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). Tested in accordance with SAE J684, it offers a weight carrying capacity of 2,000 lbs. GTW and 200 lbs. TW. It is equipped with 1-1/4" receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch mount. This class 1 hitch also comes with all necessary mounting hardware. With its lightweight design and smaller receiver tube size, a class 1 hitch is especially useful for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier. They can also typically be used to tow small trailers such as a utility trailer, kayak trailer or teardrop camper (never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc). Though CURT class 1 trailer hitches are only intended for light-duty towing, we apply the same principles of quality as we do to the rest of our rear mount hitches. Each class 1 hitch is made with hands-on engineering, high-strength steel and precise welding. We use a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat, inside and out, and durable black powder coat to provide a lasting defense against rust, chips and UV rays.

Yes, the CURT 11356 Class 1 Trailer Hitch, 1-1/4-Inch Receiver, Fits Select Mazda 6 (Part #BKDK11356) is designed to fit the 2014-2021 Mazda 6.

The part number is 11356. This hitch is specifically designed for use with the 2014 Mazda 6 Sedan and is compatible with ballmount #45016/D-224 or Euro ballmounts #45561 (1 7/8" ball) or #45562 (2" ball).
Yes, Curt hitch 11356 is designed for the 2014 Mazda 6 Sedan. It is a weight-carrying hitch with a gross load capacity of 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight.
Hitch 11356 is designed for use with ballmount #45016/D-224 or Euro ballmounts #45561 (1 7/8" ball) or #45562 (2" ball).
The gross load capacity when used as a weight-carrying hitch is 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
The hitch weight is 40 lbs.
The required tools are: ratchet, 3/4" socket, 6" socket extension, and torque wrench. Safety glasses should be worn at all times during installation.
The hitch includes: four (4) 1/2-13 UNC Grade 8 carriage bolts (part 10-10287), four (4) 1/2-13 UNC Grade 8 serrated flange nuts (part 20-00062), four (4) .250 x 1.00 x 3.00" square hole spacers (part CM-SP6), and four (4) lengths of 1/2" fishwire (part 1_2 FISHWIRE).
Two people may be required to ease installation, but it is not stated as mandatory. The manual recommends that if you are hesitant to undertake the task on your own, you should contact an authorized Curt installer for additional assistance.
No, drilling is not required. The manual explicitly states "NO DRILLING REQUIRED." The hitch uses fishwiring to secure carriage bolts through existing frame access holes.
Fishwire the four (4) 1/2-13 carriage bolts and the CM-SP6 spacers into the vehicle frame through the access holes on both the driver and passenger sides. The manual includes a "Fishwire Technique" diagram for reference. After fishwiring the bolts in place, raise the hitch into position carefully without pushing the bolts up into the vehicle frame, then remove the fishwire and secure the hitch using the 1/2-13 hex flange nuts.
All 1/2-13 fasteners must be torqued to 110 lb-ft. This includes the carriage bolts and hex flange nuts.
All non-trailer loads (wheel-less loads) applied to this hitch must be supported by 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. Curt recommends the use of 18050 stabilizing straps for all non-trailer loads.
You must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. While hitch 11356 has a gross load capacity of 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight, your 2014 Mazda 6 Sedan may have a lower manufacturer-recommended capacity that must be observed.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection helps maintain the integrity and safety of the installation.
