Tow Hitch for 2011 CX7 Sport FWD 2.5L

[clif1936]

Anyone put on an aftermarket hitch for this specific vehicle?
There is a cowling underneath the rear bumper that interferes with at least one hitch that I have tried. I need a Class II that will fit correctly.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I went with the "official" dealer-installed hitch. They do have to cut a square out of the bottom of the bumper, but if done properly, it looks good.

Thank you very much for that information.
It's too bad they have to do that; it's a beautiful car.

etrailer.com sells the hidden hitch and drawtite in which both need no cutting of the bumper and are a clean install

Class 3 - 2in receiver

EDIT: i just placed an order for this hitch so ill update you guys on how the install goes. Looks pretty simple after watching etrailer.com video

With help from my bride, we installed a Hidden Hitch from eTrailer.com. It was a smooth and easy install. Absolutely no problems. I suggest that you watch the installation video about 3 times before you proceed. It looks just like the one posted above. Silver CX-7. (hump)
