towing

I have been reading about towing with the 5. Some say none, some say 1500 max. Anyone have the correct information? We have a sylvansport go trail/camper unit. it's 860 lbs, toss our 3 bikes and camping gear it gets to about 1000 max as we have all very lightweight gear. Can we pull this...

I'm looking for a trailer hitch for my 2018 CX-9. My main goal is to attach a bike rack that can carry 4 bikes. But, if there isn't much of a price difference, I'd like to buy one strong enough to take a U-Haul trailer. Any suggestions on make/model of trailer hitch? Whom should I hire to...

Has anyone purchased and installed a trailer hitch on a 2017 CX-5? Is it a simple DIY project, or is it better to have the dealership install it? Any recommendations on a good third party hitch? I don't need the wiring, i'll only be using it to attach a bike rack.

SO, we recently bought a 2017 CX-9 Touring edition. We love it. I just installed a Curt Class 3 hitch off Amazon for $130, because I didn't want to spend $400+ on the OEM class 2 hitch. So, I have the hitch installed, and now realize I need to run the wiring too. I was looking at the Curt Custom...

Prior tow vehicles: 2000 Outback 2.5 w/5 speed manual, 2012 Outback 2.5 w/CVT. In a word: fantastic. The 2000 Outback towed well, as I recall. Enough grunt to pull this 1,000 pound boat/trailer up the boat ramp. Wasn't a speed demon, needed to be revved on the highway. The 2012 Outback...

Is the 5 speed auto transmission to delicate to tow a 1150 lb teardrop camper?

I have the mazda part readt to install BUT the connector on the car is "male" and the harness part straight from Mazda is also "male", is there something im missing here? I found this old How-to on the site and I see he also has 2 males but I've yet to get a reply...

Hi there Great forum. I currently own a 2003 MPV, and looking to buy a Mazda5. However, I am not sure that the 5 will accommodate the weight requirements that we have become accustomed to with the MPV. I have GVRW numbers, etc., for both vehicles, but I am looking for real world experience...

I bought my CX-9 with the trailer hitch receiver and wiring installed. Today I got pulled over pulling a trailer because the trailer lights were not working. I have a tester and sure enough there was no power. I can find no fuse for this. Anyone know where it can be found?

My Mazda 5 manual says the car was not designed for towing and the warranty is void if I do. I'm not concerned about the warranty any more. However, when I called the dealer, they said that the 2007 electrical system isn't designed for the extra load that the towing lights would put on it and...

I just lowered my car and don't see what could be adjusted to get rid of the negative camber. Any help would be appreciated. I drive a 2003 Protege.

Hi all! A few months ago we bought a 2008 CX-9 Grand Touring and we really love it. Just took it on a 2 week road trip from Delaware to Texas and it drove like a dream. Looking ahead, we're thinking about a late fall vacation on which I'd like to be able to take our bicycles, but the really...

Any research is appreciated on this question of whether the 3500 towing weight may be understated by Mazda. Consider this posting on an RV forum that responded to my question on whether a CX-9 AWD with a factory installed trailer package and a Curt hitch could tow a 3600 lb travel trailer...
