The Draw Tite hitch part # 24874 has been confirmed as a fit for your 2012 Mazda 5 so it would be the correct hitch to use. Since this is a Class I hitch with lower weight capacities there really isn't a great way to use your Yakima Holdup for 2 inch hitch part # Y02443 with this hitch. Hitch adapters end up cutting the weight capacity of the hitch in half and add movement to the setup so they aren't the best solution.
It may not be the solution you were looking for, but the best possible... view full answer...
The Rhino-Rack roof rack system you referenced is designed to install in the mounting points on the roof of your 2012 Mazda 5. For the 2500 Series Roof Rack with Aero Crossbars system you need parts # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK321. This roof rack has built-in locks in the legs that will secure the roof rack to the roof of the car and deter theft.
For a roof rack that is quieter you may want to check out the Rhino-Rack system with Vortex Aero crossbars. This system features aerodynamic... view full answer...
If you wanted to stick with the Thule brand then you can use either the 38" AirScreen Fairing XT # TH72WV or the 44" Long # TH82WV instead. You can use a tape measure to compare the different lengths with your roof to make sure you get the look you're wanting on your 2014 Mazda 5. view full answer...
For the Curt hitch part # C11127 you have installed on your 2015 Mazda 5 the Swagman XTC part # S64670 is a solid rack that works well. My Dad has one he's been using for several years and he still likes it.
In that price range I would recommend the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR200Z over the XTC though. They function both similarly but the big advantage of the Trail Rider is that it's very stable. It has far less movement than all bike racks in it's price range. view full answer...
I have a solution for you, but unfortunately there are not any fit kits available for your vehicle that would allow you to use the 400XT system, and you will need to go with a new roof rack. While I'm sure this isn't the news you would like to hear, I will give you a recommendation for a new roof rack that will fit your vehicle.
I recommend going with the Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars 47" # TH712200 along with the necessary Feet # TH460R and Fit Kit # THKIT3080. This is the newer updated... view full answer...
I attached a link to a page that has all of the 3 bike trunk racks we carry that are a fit for your 2012 Mazda 5. The one I recommend is the Thule OutWay part # TH56BV.
What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than the 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer.
The cables store inside the rack so there are no loose... view full answer...
I have exactly what you are looking for. You can use the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2 for black or # RRVA118S-2 for silver with the 2500 Series Leg Kit # RRRLKVA, and the Custom DK Clamps and Pads # DK285. This rack uses your fixed mounting points.
I have attached a demonstration video of this roof rack on a similar vehicle to give you an idea on how it installs.
The weight capacity of this rack is 165 pounds. Before loading any cargo on your roof, I recommend checking... view full answer...
For your 2009 Mazda 5 I recommend the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7. This will accept the 4-way that you already have and give you the remaining wiring for installing a brake controller.
For a brake controller you have a couple options. First is a hardwired option that you get with a Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195. This will be mounted on your Mazda near the steering wheel for easy access by the driver. The P3 is a proportional brake... view full answer...
You'll need to install a roof rack first on your 2012 Mazda 5, but yes, the Thule Motion XT part # TH629906 will fit on your vehicle. For a roof rack then we have the Thule Aeroblade Edge part numbers # TH7601-TH7602 and # THKIT3080 for if you have a naked roof or part numbers # RRVA118B-2 and # RRSX100 for if you have raised roof rails.
Both of these are great options for your vehicle that will provide you with aero shaped crossbars that will minimize wind noise. view full answer...
When carried on a trailer hitch mounted cargo carrier such as # C18110 or any cargo carrier, your cargo box would be considered the load on it and not necessarily part of the cargo carrier assembly. As such it would be legal provided that the cargo box is properly secured to the cargo carrier.
If you do not want the box permanently mounted to the carrier you could use ratchet straps, such as # EM34420 to secure it to the carrier.
Another option is to us a cargo bag on the carrier, #... view full answer...
The Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box # TH615 is a fine option for rooftop cargo and is my recommendation. Having a weight capacity of 110lbs and 16 cubic feet of carrying capacity would be the key considerations as far as how much luggage it will hold. The internal dimensions are 72" long x 31" wide and the height of the box is 14-1/2" tall inside the box.
Remember you are always limited by your lowest rated component so consulting your owners manual for weight limits is recommended.... view full answer...
Since you want to carry a stand-up paddleboard, something that is going to get wet and get the roof rack wet as well, I recommend going with a roof rack that has aluminum crossbars for your Mazda 5. Aluminum is corrosion resistant so the water will not be a factor.
Take a look at the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for fixed mounting points # RR77MR. It comes with stylish elliptical aluminum bars and the feet mount to the fixed points on your Mazda 5. This is a good roof rack for a paddleboard... view full answer...
Curt and Draw Tite are two different companies we carry that make hitches for vehicles like your 2012 Mazda 5. The better solution is the Draw Tite part # 24874 because it installs a bit easier and because unlike the Curt it does not require the use of a stabilizer strap when carrying a bike rack like the Swagman Chinook # S64683. view full answer...
The only hitches for your 2012 Mazda 5 are Class I hitches which can only carry a max of 2 bikes at a time. This is because the hitch is lighter duty and can't handle the increased weight and leverage.
The most economical solution would be to get a 3 bike trunk rack and then use a roof rack bike rack to carry the fourth. For a 3 bike trunk rack we have the part # TH78VR as a confirmed fit that would work well. I've linked the page to all your options.

For your application I recommend going with the Thule Gateway Pro 3 Bike Rack # TH78VR because it is easy to install and adjust, plus it is the only trunk bike rack for your 2013 Mazda 5 that has cradles spaced 7" apart. All of the other racks have cradles spaced about 5 or 5-1/2" apart and while you wouldn't think that extra 1-1/2" to 2" would make a difference it really does when it comes to loading and unloading the bikes.
This bike rack does come with a cable lock for the bikes and... view full answer...
You do not need to use a rubber grommet for the # STL101RB to install using the mounting flange part # A45SB which you also referenced. Those two parts together would be all that you need. view full answer...
The 3 hitches available for your 2012 Mazda 5 are all Class I hitches with a 1-1/4 inch receiver.
I recommend the Draw-Tite Hitch # 24874. I have included a link to installation instructions and a link to a video of the hitch being installed on your vehicle.
For a bike rack, I recommend the Thule Platform Style T2 Pro XTR # TH69XT. This carrier accommodates bikes with wheel sizes measuring between 20 inches to 29 inches with tire widths up to 5 inches, and it has a weight capacity of... view full answer...
We offer three hitch-mounted cargo carriers that are a confirmed fit with the Class I trailer hitch on your 2014 Mazda 5. The Curt 17x46 Cargo Carrier, # C18145, the Curt 20x48 Cargo Carrier, # C18110, and the Reese Cargo Carrier, # 63155, will all work for you.
The Curt cargo carriers are the lightest at about 25 lbs each. The Reese Carrier is 44 pounds, has rails and a mesh floor, and a compatible light kit # 20174 if the cargo blocks your vehicle lights. I have attached video reviews... view full answer...
The towing capacities are typically a bit higher in every country other than the US. This is due mostly to the amount of lawsuits here in the US and the manufacturers wanting to do their best to avoid getting sued. I am not sure where you are from but this hitch is only guaranteed to fit the US versions of the Mazda 5 so you'll have to check with the owners manual like you mentioned as they are the final authority.
This Draw Tite hitch part # 24874 has a trailer towing capacity of 2,000... view full answer...
In order to use a roof mounted cargo box like the Thule Force XT, # TH6358B, you need to have crossbars that run side to side installed on the roof of your 2009 Mazda 5. First, you need to add Thule Podium Roof Mounted Foot Pack, # TH460R. Next, you will need Thule WingBars, # TH711200 for silver or # TH711220 for black. Last, you will need Thule Fit Kit for Podium-Style Foot Pack, # THKIT3080.
