Great question Max!
Yes, the Curt TriFlex NEXT Trailer Brake Controller # C24VV is just an upgraded version of the Curt TriFlex C51140 with the upgrades being a refreshed computer system and the ability to be mounting in any orientation instead of being limited to a 90-degree vertical and 40-degree horizontal like what we see with the older model.
Because of this I highly recommend going with the NEXT version over the original version. view full answer...
Yes, the Curt hitches that fit your 2024 Mazda CX-50 do all install the same. The only difference is the hitch opening size. The part # C38BR is a 2 inch hitch and the # C27DR is a 1-1/4 inch hitch.
2 inch hitches are generally preferred as they have more capacity and are a more popular size accessories are made for than the smaller 1-1/4 inch size. The smaller size is a little harder to see so if you had a bike rack designed for it and wanted something a little more hidden that might... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C27DR is currently the receiver with the best ground clearance for your 2023 Mazda CX-50.This receiver has a 1-1/4" receiver moving it just slightly higher than the 2" Receiver # C38BR which is also manufactured by Curt.
I recommend installing the Wiring Harness # C45FV when you install the receiver. This will provide you with a 4-way connector for connecting to the tail lights on most small trailers you might pull. It can also be used for Auxiliary Lights... view full answer...
Something is off with the wiring connections. Most likely the turn signal circuits are connected to the running circuit of the trailer wiring. I would recommend going over the connections and verifying that you have the correct circuits connected. view full answer...
Yes, both Class II # C27DR and Class III # C38BR Curt hitches that fit your 2024 Mazda CX-50 install in the same way. I recommend going with the Class III option because it has higher weight ratings as well as a larger 2" hitch receiver so it's compatible with a wider variety of accessories.
We've actually had the chance to install this on a 2024 CX-50 so I'm linking that installation video as well as a photo of the finish product for your reference. view full answer...
For your 2024 Mazda CX-50 I recommend going with a Yakima JetStream Roof Rack. The JetStream bars will be compatible with the MegaWarrior # Y07080 basket, along with virtually any other roof rack accessory. The complete roof rack consists of the following parts:
Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425
SightLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y64AR
SightClip Fit Kit # Y27AR
You also have the option of adding locks to the towers with part # Y07204. view full answer...
It does indeed; I checked with Curt for you and can verify that their hitch does fit all models - including the Turbo - of a 2023 Mazda CX-50. The correct part number for the hitch is the following:

Currently the Vehicle Wiring Harness # C45FV is the only custom fit wiring harness available for your 2023 Mazda CX-50. This harness is for a 4-way flat connector that will fit most of the smaller trailers you may tow. This will likely be the most useful wiring as I see your CX-50 has a maximum towing capacity of 2,000lbs to 3,500lbs depending on your exact factory options. You can always check with your dealer to determine your exact towing capacity. A Mounting Bracket # C58001 will allow... view full answer...

The 4-Way Vehicle Wiring Harness # C45FV will not disable the backup safety features on your 2023 Mazda CX-50. You are able to switch off the rear sensors by turning off the i-ACTIVSENSE on your Mazda. This will allow you to still back up with a trailer and not setting off all the safety features. The T-One is not able to disable these features as it does not integrate into the ECU on your Mazda. It only sends power to the trailer tail lights when it sees power going to the vehicle tail lights. view full answer...

I really like the Curt hitch item # C38BR because the crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver exposed. This not only looks better but helps with ground clearance.

With the Curt hitch part # C38BR installed on your 2023 Mazda CX-50 you would need to use a trailer wiring bracket like the part # 18144 that attaches to the rear bumper/fascia. If you were to convert to a 7-way like with the # 37185 you'd attach the bracket directly to your rear bumper. view full answer...
Unfortunately the Curt wiring harness # C45FV would not activate the tow mode on your 2023 Mazda CX-50. According to Mazda, only their OEM wiring harness will work with the tow mode. You can absolutely still use the # C45FV to work your trailer lights, but the tow mode will not activate. view full answer...
The installation is going to be the same process for both the Curt trailer hitches that fit your 2023 Mazda CX-50, which are the following part numbers:
- 2" Hitch: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C38BR
- 1-1/4" Hitch: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C27DR
Both are very straightforward, requiring you to unscrew and remove the hitch panel, trim the underbody bumper fascia support, and then bolt the hitch on with the included bolts. That's all there is to it, and it will be exactly the same... view full answer...
