Was reading my CX-5 manual and noticed CX-5 tow rating is only 1000# for trailers without electric brakes. The 2000# tow rating only applies to trailers with electric brakes. (rant)
I intended to tow a 5x8 enclosed trailer near 2000# rating, but no one sells these with electric brakes. To legally tow, I've got to install electric brakes on a small sized trailer that usually never has electric brakes. This is disappointing. Still CX-5 has highest tow rating in its class.
FYI, also noticed manual states towing before 600 mile CX-5 break in period can cause severe drive train damage.
