Recommended Hitch and Wiring Harness for a 2024 Mazda CX-50
Question:
I need a hitch and wiring harness for a 2024 Mazda CX-50

Expert Reply:
To add a hitch to your 2024 Mazda CX-50, I recommended the Curt item # C38BR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Mazda with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight.
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.
For a wiring harness you will want the Curt Item # C45FV. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Mazda's wiring harness, which is located behind the tail lights.
To round out your towing setup, I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. It also includes a hitch pin and clip, hitch receiver lock with keys, hitch cover, and a storage case.
