Expert Answers about Mazda MX-5 Miata


  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2009 Mazda Miada MX-5
  • The Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 52728-1 is the correct base plate kit for your 2009 Mazda MX-5 Miata. There are several other components needed to flat tow your vehicle that you may be interested in also. You will want a tow bar also to provide the connection point from the base plate kit to your tow vehicle. For that I recommend you get a RoadMaster Sterling All Terrain Tow Bar # RM-576. This tow bar comes with wiring, safety cables and quick-disconnects also. Check out the review...

  • Bike Hitch & Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Mazda Miata RF Launch Edition
  • For your 2017 Mazda Miata we have the Curt hitch part # C11435 as a confirmed fit that would work well. At one point Curt was very strict about requring a stabilizer strap with non-supported loads like bike racks but at this time they have softened on that and instead only recommend it. This is a 1-1/4 inch hitch and is the only size we have for your vehicle. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata for Towing Jet Ski
  • Yes, the Curt hitch part # C11435 is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata and would have enough capacity for pulling a jetski trailer. It has a 2,000 lb capacity which would be more than enough. For trailer wiring you'd then need the part # C56300 which is a confirmed fit. This installs by plugging inline with the taillight connectors for an easy install. For a ball mount you'd then want the part # C45521 and ball part # A-80 and pin/clip part # F-4.

  • Kuat Sherpa that Can Fit Curt Hitch for 2020 Mazda MX-5
  • Using a 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch adapter isn't my favorite solution for situations like yours as the adapters end up cutting the capacity of the hitch in half and also add quite a bit of movement. Since lighter duty vehicles like your 2020 Mazda MX-5 only have the 1-1/4 inch hitch size available the best recommendation I can make is a rack designed for this hitch size like the Sherpa that fits this hitch size part # SH12G.

  • Recommended Inverter to Power RV Fridge From Two 12V Batteries
  • If your 12V batteries are wired in parallel for 12V output, the Go Power Pure Sine Wave Inverter # 34279948 that you were looking at should work great to power your RV fridge. This pure sine wave inverter provides 1,000 watts of continuous output power, more than enough for your fridge that draws 6.61 amps. Having both your batteries run in parallel will also extend its run time when powered. I have attached a short video demonstration on this inverter and the instructions manual that...

  • How to Tow a Trailer Designed for a Harley Streetbike with a Vehicle with a 4-Way
  • We have what you would need to make the adapter you would need, but we don't sell one ready to go. What you will first need is the # PK12720 for your trailer to plug into, next you will need a signal converter to take the combined signal of your Jeep's 4-way to the separate signal of your trailer. For that you would want the # C56196. Lastly, you would need # HM48110 for a 4-way to plug into the Jeep 4-way. When connecting the converter to the 4-way the wires will match up color for color,...

Attach the ends of the 8” safety cables to the front holes in the cable mounting tabs located on the inside of the receiver braces with the included cable connectors (Fig.X). Connect the other end to the tow vehicle's safety cables and tow bar.

  • The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11435 which is a direct bolt-on fit. I have attached an install video I did below.

  • Best Platform Bike Rack for Ground Clearance, Quality, and Lightweight
  • Since you said you want the best possible ground clearance without sacrificing quality the best option you'll have is the Saris SuperClamp EX part # SA4025F. This rack has a shank rise of 5 inches and the wheel trays support the wheels from the bottom of the tire so none of the tire would pass through it at all. This rack is also very lightweight at 35 lbs which is going to be the lightest option around. Check out the review video I attached for more info on this as well.

  • Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier with Rise Recommendation for a 2002 Mazda Miata
  • Since there are no folding hitch mounted cargo carriers that will fit a 1-1/4 inch hitch like what you have on your 2002 Mazda Miata your best option would be to go with the Curt Carrier, part # C18110, as it has a rise of 3-3/4 inches and would work well for you.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2011 Mazda Miata
  • The best bike rack for your hybrid specialized bikes and your 2011 Mazda Miata will likely be a hitch mount bike rack, but this will require your vehicle to have a trailer hitch. Hitch mount bike racks will have zero contact with the vehicle and you have the option of choosing a platform style bike rack that makes it easier to load and carry specialized bikes. If you are interested in this option and need a trailer hitch, then you can install the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, # 11028, as...
