Expert Answers about Cadillac XT5

• Reese Cargo Carrier Regarding Exhaust Heat Concerns on 2017 Mazda CX-5
• The 20x47 Reese Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" Hitches # 63155 has a 3 inch shank rise with no additional mounting height, and it sits 11 inches away from the center of the hitch pin hole. Both of these measures will give you room for dissipation of heat prior to the carrier. I don't believe you will have heat issues with this carrier based on the exhaust location on your 2017 Mazda CX-5. You may also want to consider a cable lock like # e98891 to further secure your cargo.
