  • Recommended Kayak Carrier and Foot Pads for a Roof Rack on a 2014 Mazda CX-5 with a Rhino Roof Rack
  • If you already have a roof rack with crossbars all you need for your 2014 Mazda CX-5 is a kayak carrier in order to transport your 2 kayaks safely. I recommend the Rhino Rack roof mount kayak J-style carrier # S512 with extension # RRS512X because you can carry 2 kayaks on their sides with the J-style cradles. The carrier will include 4 tie-down straps to secure your kayaks to the carrier. I recommend getting the Malone QuickLash T-Style Hood Loops bow/stern tie-downs # MPG308 because...

  • Recommended Replacement Thule Lock Cylinders for a 2016 Mazda CX-5
  • The Replacement Lock Cylinder and Premium Key for Thule One-Key Systems # TH52DD is not sold in packs of 4 so since you need 4, you'd need to purchase 4 separately. Or, you can use the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450400 which is a pack of 4 but it'll replace all of your lock cylinders with 4 brand new locks and won't be related to the N212 key you have. Both options will be about the same cost so it'd be entirely up to you what you choose, but I'd just stick with the 4 individual...

  • Parts Needed for Wireless Brake Controller Install on 2020 Mazda CX-5
  • There are only a few parts you need to install on your 2020 Mazda CX-5 if you are going to be using a wireless brake controller like, for example, the Curt Echo # C51180. The first thing you'll need is a 4-way, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118746. Then what you'll need is the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation # ETBC7L.

  • Parts Needed to Equip 2016.5 Mazda CX-5 for Towing Small Tear Trailer With Brakes
  • For your 2016.5 Mazda CX-5, the Curt Class III # C13315 is a great choice. From what I read in the online copy of the owner's manual, your vehicle has a 2000 lb towing capacity. In addition to the hitch, you'll need a trailer wiring harness, a ball mount and trailer ball and a brake controller to actuate the trailer's brakes. For a wiring harness, I'd recommend the Tekonsha # 118563. For a ball mount, you'll need to figure out the coupler height of the trailer when it's jacked up so it's...

  • Lightweight Swing-Away Bike Rack That Can Hold 4 Bikes On A 2021 Mazda CX-5
  • You can absolutely use the Thule Apex Swing XT # TH9027XT you mention with your 2021 Mazda CX-5. You mention your vehicle already has a 2" Curt hitch, so this bike rack will work great with that as it's designed to fit into 2" x 2" trailer hitch receivers. The Thule Apex Swing XT is the lightest of the other 4-bike swing away racks we offer, weighing in at just 42-lbs you should have no problem loading and unloading this bike rack. This rack also has a maximum carrying capacity of 150-lbs,...

  • Parts Needed to Carry 2 Kayaks on Roof of 2016 Mazda CX-5
  • The Rola 59767 Sport Series roof rack you'd looked at would make a fine choice, if the combined weight of your kayaks is 100 lbs or less. If both kayaks combined weigh more than 100 lbs, you'd need to go a different rout as far as a roof rack goes. I'd recommend a Rhino Rack roof rack consisting of the following parts: -54 inch Vortex Aero crossbars, part # RRVA118B-2 -Roof Rack Legs, part # RRRLKVA -Vehicle Specific Clamp Kit, part # DK289 For a Kayak Carrier, I'd recommend the etrailer...

  • Receiver Hitch and Yakima EXO Swing Away Bike Rack for a 2021 Mazda CX-5
  • I would be happy to help you find a hitch receiver and a bike rack for your 2021 Mazda CX-5. I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver item # EH68VR. The EcoHitch Hidden trailer hitch is designed to be as inconspicuous as possible. The hitch's cross tube bolts onto your vehicle's frame behind your rear bumper. There is no drilling or welding required. Once the hitch is installed, only the 2" receiver will be visible beneath your bumper. I have attached a picture and an installation...

  • Are Two Different BaseClip's Needed for a Yakima Roof Rack on a 2023 Maxda CX-5 with Naked Roof

The BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers # Y06130 is for the front bar and the BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers # Y06154 are for the rear bar.

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2015 Mazda CX-5
  • All of the wiring harnesses available for the 2015 Mazda CX-5 with incandescent lights are going to be fairly similar in terms of installation with one exception; the Curt # C56011 does not have a powered converter so there is no connection to the battery required. The Tekonsha # 118563 and Hopkins # HM11143165 come with a powered converter box. What this does is limit the power draw through the tail light wiring to better isolate the tow vehicle wiring and trailer wiring. So if there is...

  • 2022 Mazda CX-5 Roof Rack Recommendation for Thule Force Roof Box
  • For your application I recommend going with a Thule WingBar Evo roof rack because they look sleek and are easier to install than most other roof racks. The correct parts depends on if your 2022 Mazda CX-5 has a bare roof or the flush mount rails: Bare Roof 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars - Black # TH711420 or Silver # TH711400 Evo Clamp Feet - # TH710501 Fit Kit - # TH145079 Lock Kit - # TH450400 (optional) Flush Rails 47" WingBar Evo Crossbars - Black # TH711220 or Silver # TH711200 Rapid...

  • What Fuse/Circuit Breaker is Needed For The Charge Line When Adding Curt Trailer Adapter #C57672?
  • I recommend using the Wiring Kit # 5506 for running the wiring on your 2019 Mazda CX-5 with the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter # C57672. This kit includes duplex wiring for both the charge line and for adding a brake controller. The kit includes a 20-Amp # PK54220, 30-Amp # PK54230 and 40-Amp # 9510 circuit breaker. The 20-amp breaker is typically used to power the brake controller for single and tandem axle trailers. The 30-amp is typically used to power the brake controller when used...

  • Carrying 4 Bikes with a Hitch Mounted Bike Rack on a 2016 Mazda CX-5
  • Bike racks that are used on a Class I trailer hitch receiver are only allowed up to 2 bikes. This is because the additional force from weight being extended out from the vehicle is too much leverage for the vehicle to handle and could cause damage to the hitch, rack, and/or vehicle itself. So a bike rack for 4 bikes should not be used (And often will not fit) into a Class I trailer hitch. However, with that being said we carry Class II and Class III trailer hitch receivers that fit your...

  • What Locks Fit the Malone FoldAway 5 and the Malone J-Pro2 Kayak Carrier on a 2016 Mazda CX-5?
  • From your recent searches, it looks like you are looking at the Malone FoldAway 5 # MAL38FR and the J-Pro2 # MPG117MD kayak carriers. For these carries, while Malone does not make locks for these carriers, the best way to lock these to your roof rack is by using the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891. With the cable lock, you can thread it through both cradles and wrap them around your crossbars on the roof. If you plan on transporting 2 kayaks, I recommend going with the FoldAway 5 over the...

  • Will the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier Work W/ Inno Square Crossbars?
  • I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but let me see if I can clear some things up for you. The Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Roof Rack and Lift Assist w/ Tie-Downs # TH898 is compatible with both the Inno Crossbars # INB137 you were looking at as well as your Thule crossbars that have the channel down the middle. Since you already have crossbars you don't need to use the Inno bars . The only reason you'd need to swap your bars out would be if you don't have 4"-8" of overhang past your...

  • Recommended 3-Bike Rack Solution for 3 Heavy E-Bikes
  • With your bikes being so heavy your options are going to be limited, however I was still able to find the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # LGA77FR with the 2-bike add-on # LGA94FR. This rack has a 75-lbs per bike capacity for a total of 150-lbs, but when paired with the 2-bike add-on you'll gain an additional 150-lbs of capacity. I know you're not necessarily needing a 4-bike rack, however there actually isn't a 3-bike option that'll accommodate your heavy...

  • How to Carry Spare Tire on Roof of 2014 Mazda CX-5
  • Typically we only see front mount hitch receivers for bigger trucks or vehicles that are known for going off-road like a Jeep. To carry your spare tire in an alternate location on your 2014 Mazda CX-5 we will need to look to the roof. I recommend using the Yakima OffGrid # Y07138 and the Spare Tire Carrier # Y07076 to accomplish this. The OffGrid has a really sleek look and it's really easy to install. The crossbars on top can double as roof rack bars for a bike or kayak carrier if you...

  • What 4.80-4-8 Tire Would Work For My Log Splitter
  • When it comes to the 4.80/4.00-8 trailer tire we do not carry a 2 ply load range A tire only. The closest that we have is The Kenda K371 Bias Trailer Tire - 4.80/4.00-8 - Load Range B # AM10002, and the Load Range C # AM10004. The load range B has a ply rating of 4 and the Load Range C and has a ply rating of 6. Going up from a load range A to a load range B or C will give extra life in the tires since they have more tread to them. I have attached a review video below.
