• Is the StowMaster Tow Bar Compatible with Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit on a 2001 Mazda Miata
• Yes, the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 711-4 for your 2001 Mazda Miata is compatible with both the 2" Hitch Ball # RM-501 and 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # RM-504 versions of the StowMaster tow bar. I reached out to my contact at Roadmaster who did say that it will fit but he is afraid that you will be putting too much weight at the front of your Miata since the tow bar stows there. He recommended going with a motorhome mounted tow bar like the Falcon 2 # RM-520 instead since it stores...

• Recommended Bike Rack With A Ramp For Two E-Bikes
• The Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # Y96FR you were looking at does have a 66lb weight capacity and comes with a ramp but drops down to 40lbs per bike when used off-road. The padded clamps with ratcheting straps hold bikes securely by the frame or seat post. The cradles slide up and down and rotate to fit almost any bike. The Yakima OnRamp also only fits Class 2, 1-1/4" receivers and only Class 1, 1-1/4" receivers seem to be available for your Mazda, so this wouldn't be a...

• Roof Rack for 2019 Mazda CX-5 with Naked Roof to Carry Two Kayaks
• So we do have some options for you, but all of the roof racks for your 2019 Mazda CX-5 with a naked roof do require at least a torque tool to take on and off. Additionally, since you have a naked roof, there isn't going to be a rack that is going to be easy to take on and off - they will all require specific measurements for crossbar placement every time you want to do put the rack back on. None of the racks are permanent or semi-permanent installs, but they should be left on. I can tell...

• What Weight Do I Need To Consider When Carrying Bikes On A Class I Hitch
• Yes, the Curt Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit part # C98BR for the 2019 Mazda 3 hatchback has a 200 lb tongue weight capacity so you want to make sure the bike rack weight plus the weight of the bikes does not exceed 200 lbs. You also want to make sure the bike rack is a Class I compatible bike rack so it will fit into the hitch. We also do not recommend to carry more than 2 bikes on a Class I hitch because more than 2 bikes can put too much leverage on the setup which can cause damage to...

• Tongue Weight Limit of 2019 Mazda CX-9 With Curt Trailer Hitch C13284
• You are always limited to the lowest-rated component, whether that is your vehicle - in your case a 2019 Mazda CX-9 - or the equipment. So I took a look at the owner's manual of your '19 CX-9 and it says the max towing is 3,500 lbs like you mentioned, but didn't specify a max tongue weight, just that it needs to be 10% - 15% of the trailer weight. So your tongue weight can be more than 350 lbs on your '19 CX-9, and up to 525 lbs with the Curt hitch that fits: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver...

• Lifting a 2017 KZ Sportsman 150bh Trailer
• Since your axle still sits above your leaf springs you would actually want to start but "flipping the axle". I couldn't find what axle your 2017 KZ Sportsman 150bh has, but this is easy enough to figure out by taking a measurement of your trailer axles diameter. If it is a 2-3/8" Round Axle then you would want the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00. If it is a 3" Round Axle then you would want the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00. What...

• Curt Trailer Wiring Harness on 2016 Mazda CX-5
• The # C56310 is the confirmed fit to work with all models of the 2016 Mazda CX-5. I verified with Curt that the # C56011 is compatible up through 2015 but will not work on the 2016 with or without LED lights. The connector used on the 2016 is different.

• Can A 2017 Mazda 3 Handle The Tongue Weight From An E-Bike
• The owner's manual for a 2017 Mazda 3 does state not to tow a trailer and has nothing about the tongue weight capacity of the vehicle, but instead talks about not overloading vehicle with cargo. You should see a sticker in the door frame with "The combination of weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs so you'll just want to remain under this capacity. Realistically you're only adding an extra 20-30lbs to the hitch/bike rack and shouldn't have an issue unless...

• Can I Use an Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Hitch with the Draw-Tite 76030 for a 2019 Mazda CX-9
• Yes. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76020 can be used with an Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch like the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control - 6,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW # EQ37060ET. You will want to confirm in your 2019 Mazda CX-9's owners manual that a weight distribution hitch can be used with the vehicle, but the Draw-Tite # 76020 can be used to tow a trailer with weight distribution attached. If you can...

• Will the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack # SR1002 Fit a 2017 Mazda CX-5
• I do have a solution for you, but unfortunately the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack # SR1002 is not compatible with your 2017 Mazda CX-5. The square bar roof rack that does fit your CX-5 with a naked roof (since that's what the SportRack option fits) is the Inno roof rack which consists of the Inno Square Crossbars # INB137, Feet # INSUT, and Fit Kit # INK497. This roof rack has a weight capacity of 120 lbs and can be shipped to Canada. I have linked a review video for you to check out.

• Hitch Hits Exhaust with EcoHitch Trailer Hitch on 2021 Mazda CX-30 Turbo
• I do show the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # EH55VR as a fit for a 2021 Mazda CX-30 Turbo. It is the only 2" option available for this vehicle. I was not able to find any reference to an exhaust issue but the exhaust and hitch making contact can be sort of common with some vehicles. The fix in most cases is easy, simply bend the metal exhaust hanger slightly in a direction opposite of the hitch and you should be good. This won't cause any issues since you're only bending...

• Cargo Boxes Will Not Fit Whispbar Fixed Point Roof Rack on 2012 Mazda CX-9
• I spoke with my contact over at Yakima/Whispbar and because the bar spread on the roof rack you are using on your 2012 Mazda CX-9 is 42 inches, none of the boxes will fit. I checked all the boxes we carry and none will fit a bar spread of 42 inches on the Whispbar crossbars. But what you can do is install the Yakima MegaWarrior basket, # Y07080, and then put a cargo bag such as # RL100S30 in the basket. the bag offers 18 cubic feet of storage so it is a large bag. A benefit of going this...

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Mazda CX-5
• No need to wait. I checked with Draw-Tite and trailer hitch # 76138 officially fits the 2015 Mazda CX-5. If you are planning on doing some towing I recommend ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount, interchangeable ball set, a hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. And for trailer wiring use # C56011.

• Thule AeroBlade Roof Rack and Cargo Box for a 2013 Mazda 5
• For your 2013 Mazda 5 Thule roof rack # TH7601-TH7602 and fit kit # THKIT3080 will fit. The Thule Force XXL cargo box will physically fit the roof rack however it will be too long and interfere with the rear hatch when you try to open it. It will not open all the way. The largest box that will fit with this roof rack system and not interfere with the rear hatch is the Force XT, # TH6358B. I have linked a video review of this box for you. As far as the longevity of the crossbars you can...

• Replacement Lenses for Peterson 440-151 Trailer Lights and Wiring Harness for 2017 Mazda CX-5
• The correct replacement for your 440-151 lights is Peterson Replacement Lens # 55-15R. Although the original lenses do not have screw holes there are entry points for the screws on the mount which you will see when you take off the original lens. As for the lights themselves, they would be incandescent and not LED.

• Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Bike Rack Compatibility on 2023 Mazda CX-30
• The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of the receiver on the # C49CR is approximately 2" and the distance to the end of the bumper is 4". Unfortunately, the shank really isn't a concern for the GuideRail # RKY47ZR since it is only compatible with Class II hitches and this is a Class I. Since a Class I like the Curt is the only hitch option for your 2023 Mazda CX-30 you will need to use a different bike rack that is Class I compatible like the Kuat Piston Pro #...
