For your 2015 Mazda 5 the Draw Tite hitch part # 24874 has been confirmed as a fit. The tongue weight rating of this hitch is 200 lbs. Which means it can handle 200 lbs of vertical weight at the hitch opening. A 700 lb trailer would most likely have a tongue weight right around 70 lbs.
That being said, if the owners manual of your vehicle states that you can't tow with it there's nothing we can recommend for you that would allow you to do so. You can also check with a Mazda dealer to see... view full answer...
For a 3 bike trunk mounted bike rack for your 2008 Mazda 5 I would recommend the Thule OutWay part # TH56BV for several reasons. But most importantly because you have small kid framed bikes and the arms of the rack are adjustable in width so they can accommodate kids bikes.
What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than the 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation... view full answer...
To use a rooftop cargo bag on your Mazda5 minivan with sliding doors, you'll need an option from Rightline, which installs with clips to a naked roof. You will need to ensure your vehicle has weather molding which you can attach the clips underneath as well. You can see in the linked instructions how to attach the clips. Your options for a rooftop bag are:
- Rightline Gear Sport Jr. Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof - 10 cu ft # RL100S50

Thule did offer a previous version before their current offering, which they called the 987XT Ski Carrier. The new model became available a few years ago. The old carrier was well received by our customers, and I do not recall any specific problems or complaints associated with it.
The current model, the Thule Tram is compatible with current Thule Vertex or Apex regular or swinging models as well as the Parkway and Hitching Post Pro racks. The primary purpose for the redesign was to make... view full answer...
Both trailer hitches that we offer for your 2010 Mazda 5 are Class I hitches with a 1-1/4 inch receiver, but an adapter can be used to install a 2 inch hitch accessory. Between the two options I would go with the Draw-Title Sportframe Traile Hitch Receiver # 24773 as it has a slightly easier install process. I have linked an installation video for you to check out.
If you need to adapt this 1-1/4 inch receiver to a 2 inch receiver, I recommend the Brophy Adapter 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch #... view full answer...
Both of your vehicles, the 2013 Mazda 5, and the 2013 Honda Civic are rated for Class l trailer hitches only. When using a Class l hitch you are restricted to carrying 2-bikes in a hitch mounted carrier. class l trailer hitches have 1-1/4 inch receiver openings only.
There are a couple ways you can carry 4 bikes with your vehicles. You can install a trailer hitch and use a 2-bike carrier and then also install a roof rack and carry the other 2 bikes on the roof of the vehicles.

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.

The towing capacities are typically a bit higher in every country other than the US. This is due mostly to the amount of lawsuits here in the US and the manufacturers wanting to do their best to avoid getting sued. I am not sure where you are from but this hitch is only guaranteed to fit the US versions of the Mazda 5 so you'll have to check with the owners manual like you mentioned as they are the final authority.

Yes, the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box # SR7018 will work on the Thule Aeroblade roof rack of your 2009 Mazda 5. This box works on crossbar spreads of 23-5/8 to 34 inches (your spread is 32 inches) and can work on Aeroblade bars.
I attached a review video that shows this box being installed on a vehicle with Thule Aeroblade bars. view full answer...
Good question. The Stabilizer Jack - 6-1/4" Drop Leg Travel - 18" - 650 lbs - Qty 1 # TJ01RT doesn't come with the Replacement Handle Rod for etrailer and Ram Stabilizer Jacks - 650 lbs # SJ-100-HD which does come included in the kit # TJ01RT-HD.
The pricing does change based on the manufacturer costs and stock at any given time, so it is wise to compare as you have done. view full answer...
If you wanted to stick with the Thule brand then you can use either the 38" AirScreen Fairing XT # TH72WV or the 44" Long # TH82WV instead. You can use a tape measure to compare the different lengths with your roof to make sure you get the look you're wanting on your 2014 Mazda 5. view full answer...
The usable crossbar length on your 2014 Mazda 5 with Thule Bars part # TH7601-TH7602 and # THKIT3080 installed is going to be 26 to 30 inches. You could easily fit 2 of your bikes up there with the Swagman part # S64720 that you referenced but since you couldn't fit all 4 I think going with the Thule Trunk Rack part # TH910XT for the remaining 2 would be your best option.

Brake controllers draw a considerable amount of amperage. What I can almost guarantee happened is when you hit the override lever of the controller you overdrew the running light/head light circuit you used to power the brake controller. Once you determine what has shorted out on the truck I would strongly recommend you change the wiring of the brake controller so that it is powered straight off of the positive terminal of the battery through a circuit breaker like part # 9506P.

To install the Tekonsha P3 brake controller on your 2014 Ram, you would indeed use the # 3023-P wiring adapter. The # 3023-P would allow you to install any Tekonsha or Draw-Tite brake controller on your 2014 Ram truck. view full answer...
All of the 1-1/4-inch Class I trailer hitches offered for your 2010 Mazda 5 are light-duty types intended for use with compatible Class I accessories like 2-bike racks and small cargo carriers. The hitches, Draw-Tite # 24773 and Curt # C11338, share the same 200-lb tongue weight capacity and 2000-lb towing capacity. The linked article explains further about hitch classes and capacities.
The only practical difference among them is that Curt requires you to use a stabilizing strap # 18050... view full answer...
We don't sell them, but you will need a converter to take the 120 volt power source and convert it to 12 volts to do this. Once you have one you could easily install the Ventline S0721 Series RV Range Hood w/ Light # S0721-24WD-F-1. view full answer...
The hitch mounted cargo carriers we offer for a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening are not made of aluminum.
For your Class I trailer hitch receiver, We have three great options:
The 17 X 46 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18145 has side rails and an open-floor design that will prevent grime buildup. It would be best for carrier larger items that would not fall through the slats. This carrier weighs 28 pounds.
The 19X 47 Curt Carrier # C18110. It does not have side rails but includes an easy clean... view full answer...
As a first step, you'll need crossbars installed.
I'd recommend a square bar system by Inno, which would consist of the following parts:
46 Inch Square Crossbars, part # INB117
Roof Rack Feet, part # INXP
Vehicle Specific Fit Kit, part # INTR120
Once installed, the crossbars would have a bar spread (center to center distance between front and rear bar) of 33 inches, which is dictated by the fixed points on the roof where the rack would install. The widest bar spread the SportRack #... view full answer...
The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118520 is indeed an excellent option for a 2007 Mazda 5 and rather simple to install or at least straight forward. As mentioned, you need to run the power wire up to the battery. This question gets asked a lot but I can't recommend using the rear auxiliary port as it may not be rated for the amp draw of the harness and sorta defeats the purpose of being a powered kit as you are now relying on the factory wiring so if an issue were to occur you risk... view full answer...
