To carry a 4-bike rack with your 2016 Mazda CX-5 Ground Touring you're going to need a trailer hitch with a 2" receiver, and for that I recommend the Curt # C13315 because we have found that the Curt hitches have better welds and a thicker powder coat which helps them to last longer. Since you have the Ground Touring model there is an underbody trim piece that will need to be permanently removed, but that is the case with all of the trailer hitches for your model.
Then for a bike rack... view full answer...
The good news is that hitches like the # e98902 fit both the early and late model versions of the 2016 Mazda CX-5 so either way this will give you a mostly hidden 2 inch hitch with plenty of towing capacity. view full answer...
I do have an option for you but the factory roof rack on your 2019 Mazda CX-5 is most likely not large enough to carry two kayaks side by side. If you can give me the width of your kayaks and the length of the factory crossbars on your CX-5, I could then confirm this for you. If by chance the length of the factory crossbars on your CX-5 exceeds the width of your two kayaks then you can use the Malone Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs part # MPG154 to secure them but you will need to order two... view full answer...
The Yakima SkyRise Tent # Y07436 will work great on your 2018 Mazda CX-5 but you will need a roof rack with at least a 165 lb capacity.
If the roof of your 2018 Mazda CX-5 has flush rails that run front to back you'd want the Yakima Jet Stream rack part numbers # Y00425, and # Y64AR, # Y39AR
If you have a naked roof you'd want the part numbers # Y00425, # Y28TR, # Y06130, and # Y06154.
If you have rails that run front to back that are raised up you'd want the Malone rack part # MPG215.... view full answer...
For a lighter weight platform bike rack that is very durable and stable you can't beat the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 part # SH22G that you referenced as it comes it right at 32 lbs. Most bike racks that are similar in quality are over 45 lbs so this would definitely be your winner. view full answer...
For your 2016 Mazda CX-5 I recommend the # e98878 etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding - Universal Mount. This J-style carrier has a weight capacity of 150 lbs and includes 2 padded tie-down straps to secure your kayak to your vehicle's roof rack.
I have attached a video review of the carrier on a 2020 CX-5 for your reference. view full answer...
Using the CE Smith Tail Light Bracket # CE26057AA to mount the Tail Light Protector # CE26051A (with your light inside) to your trailer is a great setup and will indeed provide you with a secure and durable attachment. This solid connection along with the protection that the shield provides will do a really nice job of helping to keep your lights out of harm's way.
I have attached a short video review that you can check out as well. view full answer...
The Yakima roof rack tent part # Y07437 that you referenced requires an aftermarket roof rack be used with it and cannot install on your OEM rack. This is the case for all roof top tents so what you'd need to do is install a set of crossbars on your current raised rails like the Malone rack part # MPG215 and you'd be set. view full answer...
As long as you do not exceed the towing capacities of your 2016 Mazda CX-5 you would be fine. Since you plan to just tow a small trailer and sport bike that shouldn't be a problem. Whenever available I recommend people use a Class III hitch instead of a Class II as the hitch size has more capacity and has more accessory options available since it is a more popular hitch size.
For that I would recommend the # 76138 which is a fit for your vehicle and would work well. For trailer wiring... view full answer...
The part # 64005 would not retract far enough for the bike frame dimension you mentioned and we don't have anything that would go quite that small. The smallest internal dimension we have is 14 inches with the part # Y02531.
A better option might be a platform bike rack that can fit the smaller bike sizes like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # HR200Z. view full answer...
The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98902 you were looking at for your 2021 Mazda CX-5 Turbo Carbon Edition weighs in at 34lbs, and the # C12170 weighs in at 32lbs.
Between these two I would still go with the # e98902 even though it is 2lbs heavier, due to it being having higher capacities at 600lb tongue weight and 4000lb trailer weight where the # C12170 is rated for 350lbs tongue weight and 3500lb trailer weight.
The other reason is due to the # e98902 having a 2" receiver where... view full answer...
In order to use the Saris SuperClamp EX 4-Bike Platform Rack part # SA4026F on a 2017 Mazda CX-5 you will need a class III 2" trailer hitch, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76138 is what I recommend.
The Saris MTR only works with class III 2" trailer hitches, not class I or II 1-1/4" hitches. There are no four bike platform racks that will work with a class I or II 1-1/4" hitch. view full answer...
What you could do is use the Firestone valves and add some extenders, # WM80292, which are a total of 2 inches long. That will give you a lot of mounting options. But for Firestone, valve # F3032-1, is the only replacement we have. view full answer...
I recommend going with the Yakima JetStream roof rack on your 2023 Mazda CX-5. You will need the Crossbars # Y00425, Towers # Y64AR and Fit Kit # Y39AR. These crossbars have the integrated channel for adding roof mounted accessories on your roof which are not capable of clamping around the bars.
I recommend including the Lock Cores # Y07208. This will allow you to secure your roof rack and 4 other Yakima same key compatible accessories with the same key. view full answer...
Yes I checked with Thule and the Pulse Alpine # TH613 is a confirmed fit for the factory crossbars of your 2013 Mazda CX-5.

The most economical roof rack option we have for your 2016 Mazda CX-5 with a naked roof is the Inno roof rack part number # INXB138-2, # INXS250, # INK758 which is a confirmed fit and would work well to carry a ski rack.
Then for a ski rack we have the Thule SnowPack # TH7326 which is a confirmed fit for these crossbars can hold up to 6 skis and is priced great. view full answer...
The Malone crossbars have top channels that use the standard dimensions for track mounted roof accessories, so the Thule Upride part # TH599000 will fit in the top channel of the # MPG215 or could wrap around the bar too. The Airflow2 part # MPG215 is also a confirmed fit for your 2016 Mazda CX-5 so this would be a great setup.
The Malone roof rack is a really nice option too that is priced really well. Nothing else really comes near it in terms of quality. The Upride is also a great bike... view full answer...

For your 2016 Mazda CX-5, if you want to upgrade your roof rack I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420, the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401, and locks # TH450400. This system is rated for 165 lbs capacity.
Then I recommend the Inno Fork Lock Roof Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Channel Mounted - Aluminum # INXA391 which you can see mounted on a similar vehicle on the attached video. If you don't mind the connection around the crossbars, then the Kuat Trio Roof Bike Rack -... view full answer...
Many trunk-mount bike racks have trouble with vehicles that have a roofline spoiler as this vehicle feature can interfere with installation and the rack's mounting straps can put pressure on the spoiler. But the clever folks at Hollywood Racks came up with an ideal solution in their Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2.
The linked video illustrates installation of this carrier whose unique frame design arches up and over the spoiler to avoid interference.
