  • Snow Tire Chains For 2015 Mazda 3
  • Coil spring helpers don't add to the height of your vehicle, because they just go inside the spring, supporting it when you have a load in the vehicle. So springs won't raise your 2015 Mazda 3, nor are they any that fit your vehicle. The best I can offer for better ride in snow are snow tire chains: - pewag Servo RS Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains # PWRS74 I checked the owner's manual for a 2015 Mazda 3 and it said snow tire chains are permissible, on the front tires only. The pewag...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a 2019 Mazda CX-5 w/ Roof Rails
  • I have an alternative but the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars item # RRVA118B-2 will only fit the 2019 CX-5's that don't have the factory installed rails. There's no kit that will attach them to your vehicle you would have to rip your rails off and that's not a viable option. Instead, I recommend using the roof rack by Yakima to install a set of crossbars on your 2019 Mazda CX-5. You will need the following parts: Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 item...

It will also include a 15 amp fuse with holder to make sure too much power does not get to the tail light converter/powered module.

  • Is Weight Capacity of Rhino Rack ROC25 A Static or Dynamic Rating
  • The Rhino Rack ROC25 part # RR46XR has a 165 lb dynamic weight capacity which means that's how much it can carry while travelling and incurring the standard bumps and movement that creates. While Rhino Rack doesn't give a static weight capacity our roof rack tents like the Yakima SkyRise HD part # Y07437 require roof racks that have a 165 lb capacity like the Rhino Rack and then have a total weight capacity of 600 lbs.

  • Torque Specs for Hitch Ball on Curt and Reese Friction Sway Control Units
  • I called my contact at Curt and asked about the torque needed for the ball that the sway control is attached to on the trailer hitch. They told me that there has never been a torque listed but if you would torque it to about 150 ft-lbs it will have no problems. There is no torque value in the installation instructions. The Reese kit part # 83660 requires 100 ft lbs of torque for the install of the ball.

  • Highest Capacity Trailer Hitch for a 2020 Mazda 3 Hatchback
  • There is actually only 1 trailer hitch that fits your 2020 Mazda 3 Hatchback so it definitely cuts down on what we need to filter through. The Curt # C98BR is a Class I trailer hitch rated for 2,000 lbs towing and has a 1-1/4" receiver rated for 200 lbs tongue weight. It is important to note though that your 2020 Mazda 3 isn't rated for towing so you really should only be using the trailer hitch for something like a bike rack. If you were planning on using this for a bike rack then I highly...

  • Ground Clearance Under Curt C11435 Installed on 2019 Mazda Miata
  • I don't have a precise ground clearance measurement for the Curt Class I # C11435 (nor does Curt), but as you can see in the provided photo, the receiver tube will sit flush against the underside of the bumper fascia. If you measure approximately 2 inches downward from the lowest point of the bumper fascia, you'll have a pretty accurate idea of where the underside of the receiver would sit. If you'll be using the hitch for light-duty towing, you'll need a few other items to complete your...

  • Will the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier Clear the Rear Hatch on a 2014 Mazda CX-5
  • The Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier, # M2205, will have enough clearance to open the rear hatch on a 2014 Mazda CX-5 if it is in the collapsed position. We have not had a chance to test this carrier on a 2014 CX-5 yet, so to determine if it has enough clearance with the walls up, we will want to take a few measurements. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the carrier platform is 13 inches and, with the walls up, this carrier will measure approximately...

  • Weight of Trailer hitch Mount Cargo Carrier e98874 and C18151
  • The etrailer trailer hitch mount cargo carrier # e98874 has a shipping weight of 61 pounds. and a carrier weight of 48 pounds. Carrier # C18151 has a shipping weight of 58 pounds so it is around 55 pounds for the carrier. Someone would have to come along with a couple of wrenches to steel the trailer portion because it swivels up or down on a bolt. But then they would just have this heavy tray to lug around and wouldn't be able to use it in a vehicle because the tray was removed from its shank.
