  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2015 Mazda CX-9
  • We can offer you a choice of either 1-1/4-inch Class II or 2-inch Class III hitches for your 2015 Mazda CX-9.

This hitch installs without drilling and includes all required mounting hardware. Written instructions, a helpful article and an install video are all linked for you.

  • Do Aluminum Wheels Run Cooler than Steel
  • Aluminum does do a much better job at dissipating heat than steel, so to answer your question an aluminum wheel would run cooler than a steel one. In a trailer rim application this really wouldn't be much of an issue though and wouldn't offer you any benefit. Rim heat isn't usually a concern on a trailer so using an aluminum wheel isn't offered as a recommendation for helping remove heat. The real benefit to aluminum wheels is that they don't rust and they are typically lighter weight.

  • Wiring Connector For European Thule EasyFold Bike Rack On 2014 Mazda CX-5
