After negotiating the purchase I got the dealer to add in the hitch for free. When I got the CX-5 a big gapping unevenly cut hole was cut into the bumper to accommodate the OEM hitch. Found out that even though the online picture on the Mazda site shows the hitch just below the bumper with a small cut out, that the hole is much higher and about 10" wide! Ugly as sin!
Wish I had waited and put an after market in. Dealer offered to replace bumper with a locally painted replacement, which I will not do, or trim the hole. They should have shown me a picture of what it would look like before installing.
Purchasers show be aware that the picture Mazda shows as the hitch install option is not the way it will look when they get the SUV.
Anyone else experience this?
