Wiring Harness, Ball Mount, and Ball for a 2013 Mazda CX-5 with Class II Trailer Hitch
Question:
I need the wiring harness/setup for my 2013 mazda cx-5 sport no LEDs I also need the ball and piece that holds the ball. I already have a 1.5 inch hitch on the car. I am not sure what class it is. I just want to be able to pull a kayak trailer.

Expert Reply:
The trailer hitch on your 2013 Mazda CX-5 is a Class II hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver (there isn't a 1-1/2 inch size). The recommended ball mount is # 36071. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch use # 19258.
For trailer wiring use # 118563 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the back of the vehicle. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.
