Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Wiring Harness Confirmed To Fit a 2022 Mazda CX-5
Question:
I need a hitch for my Mazda 22 CX-5. How is it that the Draw Tite's will still plug and play onto the framework, but apparently the Mazda ones are not forward compatible?? I've had a couple of your hitches that I have installed myself, and I may go this way again, but this has me a tad curious.

While the design of the Draw-Tite Receivers # 76138(2") and # C12170(1-1/4") may allow their receivers to still fit, it may have changed enough that the Mazda receiver will no longer fit correctly. Since Draw-Tite designs and tests their own receivers not in collaboration with Mazda they will likely have differences.
We also have the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118746 that is confirmed to fit your CX-5. This will allow you to connect to most small trailers you may pull. It will also allow you to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 with any hitch mounted accessory that impairs the view of your tail lights to other drivers.
