Speaker 1: Today in our 2018 Mazda CX5, we're going to be installing Curt's Class 3 two-inch trailer hitch receiver, part number C13315. This is what ur hitch is going to look like when it is installed. The cross tube's going to be hidden behind the bumper, so you're really only going to be able to see the receiving tube sticking out the end.This is a Class 3, two-inch-by-two-inch receiver, so it's going to be great for all your needs; from bike racks, cargo carriers, to towing, it will handle everything. It features hoop style safety chains loops, so it's going to have a nice large opening that will accommodate just about every size safety chain. It uses a 5/8 inch hitch pinning clip. Now, one doesn't come included with this hitch, but you can pick one up here at etrailer.com with part number PC3.This features a 600-pound tongue weight and that's the force going down on top of the receiver, and a 4000-pound gross towing capacity. That's how much it can pul behind it. Now you do want to check your vehicle's owners manual to insure you're not exceeding its capacities.And now I've got some measurements for you to help you when deciding on accessories. From the ground to the top inside edge of the receiving tube, it measures about 13 1/4 inches. This is important when determining if you need a drop, rise, or inaudible 00:01:09 on any of your accessories.From the center of the hitch pinhole to the edge of the rear bumper, it measures about three inches. This is important when determining if any of your folding accessories can be placed in the upright storage position without contact in the bumper.We'll begin our installation at the back of the vehicle. Underneath the bumper here, there's a plastic trim panel. We'll need to remove this trim panel. We won't be reinstalling it. There's a plastic pin located on each end of the panel. Pop out the center with a flat-bladed screwdriver and the pin will just pop right out of there. We'll do the same on the other side.Then, if you go inward just a little bit, there is a little clip here. Just push that tab towards the rear of the vehicle, and you can pull that down. There's one more on this side. And we'll just set this aside.Next, we'll lower our exhaust. Before we lower it down, we're going to put a strap in place and this will keep our exhaust from dropping too far and causing any damage. To lower down your exhaust, you'll have four hangers, two on each side. One in front and on back side of the exhaust tip there. Spray it down with some lubricant, and you can just pry it off. We'll do the same with the one located on the other side, and the two that are located just a little bit further forward.Located on the side of your frame on each side, you'll have a plastic plug towards the front. There will be two pieces of tape on the side of the frame that we'll need to remove: one towards the rear and one further towards the front. This will expose the holes where we'll install our hardware. We'll then take the fish wire provided in the kit. We're going to go in through the hole in the side. This is the hole that's the rear most, where we'll remove the tape. And we're going to pull it out down through the hole in the bottom of the frame. We'll then slide on a spacer and thread on one of the carriage bolts. We'll push the spacer up into the frame, followed by the carriage bolt and then we can pull that through. Now, we are going to push that back in the frame to make it easier to get our hitch up into place to we'll leave our fish wire hanging down. We'll do the same thing on the other side.There are four flat washers that come with your kit. These go between the hitch and the frame, so the easiest way to install these is to just pre-tape them on to your hitch. So we're going to set it in place. We're going to use some clear tape. Just wrap it on there to hold it on. I like to just score the middle to make it easy to get the bolts through. We'll do that for the three remaining flat washers, lining them up with each hole in our hitch.Now, with an extra set of hands, we're going to lift our hitch into position. Just go up over your exhaust. Make sure that you feed your fish wire through the appropriate hole. This is going to be the rear-most hole. We'll lift it behind the bumper. Lift it up, lining it up with the back hole. And then just push your fish wire through.For the front-most hardware that threads into the existing lug nuts, you'll take the finel
