Expert Answers about Mazda 5


  • Will the Thule Passage Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2008 Mazda 5
  • Yes, the Thule Passage 2 trunk mount bike rack, # TH910XT, is listed as a fit for the 2008 Mazda 5. I have included a link to a video review of the rack for you. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame tube that goes straight across (like a typical mens bike does) I recommend using adapter bar # TH982XT. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level. I use adapters similar to this and without them my wifes bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be...

  • Thule Rooftop Cargo Box Compatibility With Rhino Rack Crossbars
  • If you are using the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Crossbars like # RRVA137B they have a dimension of 54" long x 3-1/8" wide x 1-3/16" tall which works for Thule boxes that use the PowerClick quick-release clamps, including the Thule Vector Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box # TH613501. The Vector Alpine Rooftop box is literally the NICEST cargo box I have ever had the pleasure of installing. Yes, it is a premium price but it truly is the most premium box you can buy in my opinion. I have only used the Vector...

  • Is the SportRack J-Stacker Compatible with the Rola Roof Rack on a 2010 Mazda 5
  • The SportRack J-Stacker Kayak Carrier, # SR5511, will fit on the crossbars of your Rola roof rack. The crossbars on your roof rack measure 3-1/8 inches wide and the J-Stacker kayak carrier will fit crossbars up to 3-1/2 inches wide. You will be able to attach two kayak carriers to your roof rack, but you will want to verify that the roof of your Mazda 5 can support the weight both kayaks. The weight capacity of the Rola roof rack is 110 lbs. I also recommend checking your owners manual...

  • Will the Swagman Roof Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2010 Mazda5 with Rola Roof Rack
  • Rhino-Rack's Vortex Aero Crossbars are 3-1/8" wide x 1-3/16" tall and the Swagman bike rack # S64720 will fit bars 3-1/8" wide x 1-7/8" tall. So it will be a tight fit but it will fit. I have included links to instructions and a video for you to view.

  • Fit of Curt # C18115 Roof-Mounted Cargo Basket on 2012 Mazda 5
  • According to my contact at Curt, the inside dimension of their # C18115 roof basket is 38 inches long by 35-1/2 inches wide. It will fit roof racks whose bars are no more than 3 inches wide and at leased 15 inches apart, measured center-to-center. The basket itself can handle up to 150 lbs, or the capacity of your vehicle roof and roof rack, whichever is less.

  • Will the Yakima RocketBox Pro 12 or 14 Cargo Box Fit a 2006 Mazda 5 with Factory Crossbars
  • Like you have said, the RocketBox Pro 12 is not listed as a fit from Yakima so I cannot recommend using it on your 2006 Mazda 5. The RocketBox Pro 14, # Y07192, will fit the bars and bar spread. The minimum clearance from the center of the forward bar to the hatch will need to be at least 45 inches for the RocketBox Pro 14 so it will clear the hatch. Remember that part of the box will be forward of the front crossbar AND you can adjust the feet inside the box to be further back which makes...

  • Does Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier # TH910XT Fit the 2009 Mazda 5
  • Yes, the Thule Trunk Bike Rack, part # TH910XT, which you referenced, is a confirmed fit for your 2009 Mazda 5. It has a weight capacity of 70 lbs. and attaches to the vehicle by six straps for added stability. I have included a video review of this trunk mounted bike rack for your reference. If you will be carrying women's bikes or bikes with a frame that does not have a straight frame for the bike rack arms, you would need to add the Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT, for each bike with this...

  • Availability of Roof Rack and Soft Roof Cargo Bag For a 2012 Mazda 5
  • I spoke with my contact at Rola and he said that the Rola 59834 has not yet been tested as a fit on the 2012 Mazda 5, so I can not tell you if it will fit or not. I would recommend the Thule Roof Rack, part # TH460R, part # TH711200, and part # THKIT3080. This roof rack will attach to the preset mounting points on your 2012 Mazda 5. This roof rack has a weight capacity of 165 lbs, but anytime you will be hauling cargo on your roof you will want to check with the owners manual or the Mazda...

  • Trailer Hitch Fit for 2012 Mazda 5 and Yakima Ridgeback 4
  • The only hitch that we offer for your 2012 Mazda 5 that will work with your Yakima Ridgeback 4 # Y02458 is the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch # C11127. This is the only Class I hitch we offer without a stop. When used with a Class I hitch, the Ridgeback will be limited to carrying 2 bikes. The Curt hitch # C11127 also requires the use of stabilization straps, # 18050, when carrying all non-trailer loads, such as bike racks.

  • How Many Bikes Can Be Loaded on a Hitch-Mount Carrier Used on a Mazda 5 With Class I Hitch
  • A hitch-mount bike carrier may have a different bike-carrying capacity depending on the rating of the hitch into which it is installed. If the hitch is rated as Class I, then it can handle the weight of only two bikes, even if the carrier can actually hold 4 bikes. This limitation holds true even for kids bikes. The reason for the 2-bike limit on a Class I hitch has as much to do with the geometry of the carrier and hitch as it does the weight of the bikes. The further out from the hitch...

  • Why Does a Class II Hitch Mount Bike Rack Not Fit Into a Class I Trailer Hitch on a 2009 Mazda 5
  • The length of the shank from the pin hole back to the end of it on the Yakima RidgeBack, # Y02457, is too long to fit in a Class I trailer hitch and have the hitch pin holes line up. It physically will not fit a Class I hitch. It is a Class II accessory only when uses in a 1-1/4 inch receiver. Most Class I trailer hitches have a stop built into them that will prevent a user for installing a Class II accessory and overloading the hitch which can cause damage. I have included a picture to...

  • 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...

  • What Is the Height of the Malone Profile 18B Rooftop Cargo Box?
  • From the lowest point to the highest point on the Malone Profile18B Rooftop Cargo Box # MPG911 it measures 15-3/4" tall. Any additional height from your crossbars would have to be added after the fact as we won't have that information. Seeing as though you only have 15-5/8" total of clearance I'd say it's safe to say that you won't be able to keep the cargo box installed when you park your car in the garage.

  • Class I Trailer Hitches for a 2009 Mazda 5 Do Not Work with Class II Accessories
  • Do not remove it. That nub is not there by mistake. It is a safety feature that is meant to prevent you from loading in a Class II accessory into a Class I trailer hitch. There is a picture of it on the product page (4th picture). A Class I hitch like # 24773 can potentially be overloaded. The addition of the nub makes sure you only can use Class I rated accessories. Class II accessories have a longer shank so they physically will not fit. Also, a Class I trailer hitch can only carry...

  • Will Thule Pulse XL Cargo Box Fit Dealer Crossbars on a 2012 Mazda 5
  • The Thule Pulse XL cargo box, # TH615 should fit the optional crossbars for your Mazda 5 as long as the distance between the bars is at least-5/8 inches on center. I recommend installing an aftermarket roof rack because it will be more cost effective. For your Mazda 5, you can use the economical Thule system consisting of the following parts: # TH712200, # TH460R, and # THKIT3080. Another option is the much more stylish and quieter WingBar system. It uses the same feet and fit kit only...

  • How to Carry Rooftop Cargo Bag on Mazda5 Minivan with Sliding Doors
  • 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 - Rightline Gear Sport 3 Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof...

  • Will Yakima MegaWarrior Roof Basket # Y07080 Fit My 2010 Mazda 5 w/ Factory Roof Rack
  • Roof Top Baskets are not vehicle specific items. However, Yakima has done some testing with their roof baskets and the Yakima MegaWarrior, part # Y07080 will fit your 2010 Mazda 5 with factory roof rack, according to Yakima. To keep cargo secured to the basket, you may be interested in the Stretch Net for Yakima MegaWarrior # Y07081. You will want to check your vehicle owners manual for the load carrying capacity of the roof on your Mazda 5 as you will not want to exceed it. I have...

  • Bike Carrier Options for 2012 Mazda 5
  • We do offer trunk-mount bike racks for your 2012 Mazda 5 but you are correct that these are limited to a 3-bike capacity. This is true for all trunk racks; none are offered in a 4-bike capacity as this would be too heavy for a vehicle trunk. We do offer a light duty Class I hitch for your car but you can carry only 2 bikes on a Class I hitch rack. So, in order to transport 4 bikes on this vehicle you will need a combination of trunk or hitch rack along with a roof-mount bike carrier. No...

  • Roof Rack Options For 2009 Mazda 5
  • We can get your 2009 Mazda 5 set up with a roof rack with no problem, and there are a couple of choices for you. One is a square bar roof rack from Inno while the other is an aero bar roof rack from Rhino-Rack. There are pros and cons to each that can help you with your decision. The pro to the Inno square bar rack is that it's the most economical option, and a good overall value with a combination of quality and price. But the con is that square crossbars are louder than aero crossbars,...

  • Will Blue Ox Bulb and Socket Kit Fit a 2010 Mazda5 to Tow on a Tow Dolly Behind a Motor Home
  • The Blue Ox bulb and socket kit, # BX8869, will fit your 2010 Mazda5. To add a 4-way round harness you will need # BX8861. You will want to check the owners manual on the motor home to make sure you can use both connectors at the same time. Too many lights could create too much draw on the system.
