Interesting. How much weight combined are you towing?
The RV is 3122 lbs. Tongue weight is 442 lbs. There is about 350 lbs of driver and luggage in the CX-5.

If you can, Could you please post a picture of the ability of SG2 to read trans temp? Thanks in advance
Sorry to hear of that experience. I think there were some other folks on the forum who regularly towed things with their CX-5, but I wonder how big. I likewise would not be inclined to tow much of anything with mine, just like I wouldn't really use it as an off-road vehicle.
I also have a service coming up to drain/fill my transmission fluid. I last did it around 71k miles and am at 103k now. Probably once I hit about 110k I'm going to go ahead and do another drain/fill before its time for coolant at 120k.
Glad to hear the remanufactured tranny is working well.
I can't tell from the pic. Is that about a 2018 with the 2.5 normally aspirated (185hp) with cylinder deactivation?View attachment 312550
This is what I towed crossed the United States. 55 day 9,435 mile trip. Had no problems with the transmission or over heating.
What are the weight spec's on that trailer? I'm guessing it's a tad beyond the CX-5's safety limits.View attachment 312550

What kind of mpg do you get pulling that trailer? I figure that's gotta be pushin' 4000lbs give or take.
It’s 3000lbs dry we don’t load the tanks so with our stuff we are only around the 3500-3900 range. I also never went over 55-60mph with it.What are the weight spec's on that trailer? I'm guessing it's a tad beyond the CX-5's safety limits.

Yeah, if I had a turbo I’m sure I would have forgotten about my camper. As is there was times I was cruising down the highway and forgot I had a trailer behind me.I’m pretty impressed with how my NA ‘15 tows around 1600 lbs…. I can only imagine how much better with the diesel or turbo motor
