Expert Answers about Mazda CX-5


  • How To Confirm Fit of Rhino-Rack Zenith MasterFit Rooftop Cargo Box 14 Cu Ft
  • The Rhino-Rack Zenith MasterFit Rooftop Cargo Box part # RRRMFZ66 is designed to fit crossbars up to 1-3/8" tall x 3-9/16" wide spaced between 24-3/8" to 36-5/8" apart. The manufacturer does not provide specific vehicle testing for this product so you will need to take a few simple measurements on your vehicle to determine compatibility. If the above does not work and you need a different option please let me know and I would be glad to provide additional solutions.

  • Recommended Option For Towing A 2022 Mazda CX-5 Behind An RV
  • Though you can tow a 2021 and 2022 Mazda front wheel drive CX-5 behind an RV with a dolly, like the Demco Kar Kaddy X # DM9713093, it cannot be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground, unfortunately. This does come directly from Mazda and will most likely have to do with the transmission, but I can't say that for sure. With that being said, the Demco Kar Kaddy X # DM9713093 is actually a very nice option. This includes the tire straps, lights connected to a standard 4 Flat, and hydraulic...

  • Does the Curt T-Connector C56310 Fit a 2016.5 Mazda CX-5
  • The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56310 is in fact the correct trailer wiring kit for your 2016.5 Mazda CX-5. It will work with the LED lights on your trailer. I have attached a video of this kit being installed on a similar CX-5 that you can use as a reference. If you do not already have a hitch receiver on your CX-5 then I recommend installing the Draw-Tite # 76138 as it has a 2 inch hitch receiver which is compatible with many more applications...

  • Recommendation For Carrying 2 Bikes Weighing 115-lbs Total On 2015 Mazda CX-5
  • All of the trunk mount bike carriers like the # TH910XT, are limited to 35-lbs per bike so that would not be a great option for you. Due to the weight of your 2 bikes at 115-lbs I strongly recommend installing a trailer hitch and a hitch mounted bike carrier for your 2015 CX-5. I have attached a link to the trunk-mount bike carriers that are confirmed as a fit for your vehicle. The trailer hitch I recommend is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame, part # 76138. This is a Class lll hitch and it has...

  • Inno Feet for Mazda CX-5 With Factory Flush Roof Rails
  • If you are wanting to go with a Inno roof rack and you have factory rails on your 2020 Mazda CX-5, you have two options. If you want the aero style crossbars grab these bars # INXB115-123 the Inno Through Feet # INXS350 and the custom fit kit # IN53FR. If you have the square bars # INB117 you will need these feet # INXP and this fit kit # IN53FR

  • Best Trailer Wiring Harness for 2016 Mazda CX-5
  • Of the trailer wiring harnesses available for your 2016 Mazda CX-5 I lean towards the Tekonsha # 118563. All three function and install in basically the same way, but our installers prefer Tekonsha over Curt because they tend be less problematic later on and I see no reason to pay the much higher price for the Hopkins. So for my money it's the Tekonsha. I've linked an install video for you as well. If you haven't already selected a trailer hitch receiver I recommend the Draw-Tite, part...

  • Will the Malone SeaWing Install on a 2013 Mazda CX-5 with a Bare Roof?
  • I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately, the the Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier # MPG113MD will work only if you have a roof rack system with crossbars installed on your 2013 Mazda CX-5. With that being said, there is a kayak carrier that does not require and factory rails or rooftop crossbar systems. For that option, I recommend the Malone Deluxe Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - Foam Block Style - 18" Long # MPG152. The Malone Deluxe kayak carrier comes with 2 block straps, 2 cam buckle...

  • Recommended Hanging Bike Rack for 2014 Mazda CX-5
  • There is a very good option for a 4-bike rack that will fit a 2 inch hitch such as the Draw-Tite # 76138 that fits your 2014 Mazda CX-5 but the Detail K2 K2BCR490 wouldn't be at the top of anyone's list, particularly due to its 100 lb capacity, which is less than the majority of 4-bike racks. A much better option is going to be the Hollywood Racks Traveler 4 Bike Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # HR8500 because it will safely transport four bikes at an economical price but with many...

  • Trim Removal to Install the etrailer Hitch e98902 on a 2020 Mazda CX-5
  • The small piece of trim that gets removed to install the etrailer Hitch item # e98902 is there for aerodynamic purposes. It has to come out to install the hitch which fills that gap in your undercarriage so you won't need to replace it. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Mazda with included hardware. I have linked an installation video below. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56377 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

  • Towing Jet Ski With 2017 Mazda CX-5
  • If you are planning on towing a jet ski that is loaded on a jet ski trailer, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Part # 76138 will work for your application. The hitch can handle the towing capacity of up to 4,500 pounds, although you will not want to exceed the recommended towing capacity that is established by the vehicle manufacturer. The 2017 Mazda CX-5 manufacturers max tow rating is listed at 2,000 pounds. If the weight of the jet ski, and the jet ski trailer are a combined...

  • What Piece Of Bumper Needs To Be Removed To Install Curt Trailer Hitch C12170 On 2019 Mazda CX-5 GT?
  • There is a small plastic trim piece on the rear bumper of your 2019 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring that will need to be removed to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12170 which you can see in the included picture that a customer sent in when doing this install, and in the included install video.

  • Hitch Compatibility for Different Models Of Mazda CX-5
  • There is 1 factor that determines if a hitch is compatible with your 2019 Mazda CX-5 Signature or not. It comes down to if it has a diesel engine. The turbo and naturally aspirated engines have no effect on hitch compatibility. There is several hitches available for the non diesels or gasoline models, and currently 1 for the diesel models. For your CX-5 I recommend the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98902 since it's a gasoline model. It's a class III hitch so it will be the most...

  • Does Rear Fascia of 2019 Mazda CX-5 Need to Remove to Install Draw Tite Trailer Hitch
  • Only the Grand Touring version of the 2019 Mazda CX-5 needs to have an appearance panel permanently removed from the underside of the vehicle to install a hitch like the # 76138. The standard 2019 Mazda CX-5 does not require this. Basically the panel is there to make the underside of the vehicle look sleeker. It's not needed aside from that.

  • Will the Thule Compass Fit a 2019 Mazda CX-5 Factory Roof Rack
  • Yes, the Thule Compass Kayak and SUP Carrier part # TH890000 will fit the factory roof rack on your 2019 Mazda CX-5. There is one other carrier like this, the Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier part # S512-S512X which will also fit the factory roof rack on your 2019 Mazda CX-5. The Thule Compass however has a higher weight capacity and better warranty so that is what I recommend for you. They both come with all the tie downs needed for two kayaks.
