Hi
I emailed my local Mazda about their accessory hitch and how it says it can't be used for towing. I asked if they had a Class 1 option and they said that the accessory hitch is Class 1 and Class 1 hitches can't be used for towing. The Curt hitch you can find online is a Class 1 and it is rating to tow 2000 pounds. So I am confused. Does anybody have experience with the "accessory hitch"? Is it just some flimsy bracket they bolt on or is similar to the aftermarket offerings like curt that extend the width of the vehicle?
I don't plan on using it for towing anyhow, just a bike rack but I would much rather have my bikes supported by something durable and rated for towing.
