Expert Answers about Mazda MX-5 Miata


  • 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...

  • Recommended Trailer For Kayak To Be Towed By 2016 Mazda Miata
  • I recommend the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - 66" # Y08106 of the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - 78" Item # Y08107. Either option would be an ideal trailer for you that is so light it won't require brakes. This will work great with the Thule DockGrip # TH895. Another option is the CE Smith Boat Trailer for Boats and PWCs up to 12' Long - 800 lbs # CE48810. This is not able to use brakes. I recommend staying well under that 800 lbs for your application.

  • How To Load And Unload A 2007 Mazda Miata MX-5 Without Scraping
  • The longer the ramp, the less likely it is to drag or scrape. Ideally we have the perfect mixture of length and angle. I think using the ramps you were looking at # RR-RACK-4 won't be enough length and too much angle. The ramps you were looking at are only 27-1/2 inches long and have a 8.8 degree angle. That's a little too much angle over too short of a length so for sure prevent any scraping. That being said, having a 5.5 degree angle on 74 inches of ramp like on these # RR-TR-7-FLP will...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for a 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata Grand Touring Edition
  • The appearance package in question includes some additional parts on the exterior that would prevent the Curt trailer hitch # C11028 from being installed. From what I could find, the grand touring edition doesn't have this. But to be sure you may want to inquire with a Mazda dealer. You could also take a look at the picture I have included and if the back of your Miata looks the same then it is likely that the hitch will fit just fine. For installation a trusted mechanic or any place...

  • Recommended Storage Cover for 15 Foot Pace V-Nose Enclosed Trailer
  • If your Pace v-nose enclosed cargo trailer measures 15 feet long with the v-nose (but excluding the tongue that extends from the nose) then then I strongly recommend the Adco Olefin HD RV Cover for Travel Trailers up to 18' - All Climate + Wind # AD37ZR. This is an excellent cover that features an Olefin top panel that block harmful UV rays that can cause cracking and fading, beads water on contact to eliminate black streaks and corrosion, and stops dirt and dust particles from caking...

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Trunk Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 BMW X1
  • The Thule OutWay 3 part # TH56BV is a confirmed fit for your 2017 BMW X1 and would be a great option. That said, there isn't a 3 bike trunk or hitch rack that's going to fit your 2017 Miata. I wish there was a great option for that vehicle but nothing would work. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide...

  • 5-Pin Trailer Wiring for a 2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  • To equip your 2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata with 5-pin trailer wiring, you will need a 4-pole wiring harness and a 5-pole adapter. We don't have a custom wiring kit for the 2020 Miata yet, but we do have a universal kit that can give you the 4-way harness without plugging into the Miata's ports. It's the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 119250KIT. This kit will plug into your vehicle's tail lights to provide the signals needed for a 4-pole. I've included a video installation...

  • Flat Tow Set Up For 2007 Mazda MX-5 That Does Not Need A Cross Bar
  • I have a solution for you. Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 52728-1. Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # RM-522. These two units are not compatible with each other and you will need to get a crossbar style tow bar. If you are deadset on getting the falcon you can use the Replacement Quick Disconnect Crossbar Assembly for Roadmaster Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars # 910021-00. Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar - Car Mount...

  • Recommended Hitch Bike Rack for 2011 Mazda Miata
  • A great choice would be the Swagman Titan, part # S63400. The rack features sturdy rubber straps to secure the bikes to the rack, anti-sway cradles that prevent the bikes from swinging back and forth and striking each other or the rear of the vehicle and an integrated cable lock to deter theft. The rack includes an anti-rattle hitch pin, but a locking model # S64029 is recommended. The Titan is suitable for transporting your bikes across the country or to that little park a few blocks away. To...

  • 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.

  • Recommended Best Weight Distribution and Sway Control for NuCamp Tear Travel Trailer
  • Thanks for all the weight information. Based on the total tongue weight of the loaded trailer and gear behind the rear axle, I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control - 6,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW # EQ37060ET. This system has the 2 inch hitch ball as well as the total tongue weight range between 200 and 600 lbs. This will put you in the middle of that range to be an ideal fit. This system uses metal on metal friction in 4 places to reduce sway for...

  • Where Do Safety Cables Attach on Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit for 2007 Mazda MX-5
  • I attached a picture that shows where to attach the safety cables when installing the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate kit part # 52728-1. Here's the text too though. 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.

  • 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,...

  • How to Connect 6-Way Flat on Trailer with 4-Way Flat on 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  • I do have a solution for you, however there is not currently an adapter available that will allow the 4-way on your 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata to connect with the Bushtec 6-Way flat on your trailer. What I recommend doing is simply cutting off the trailer 6-Way and installing a 4-Way like the Hopkins # HM48110 that will be compatible with your tow vehicle. You can use a 12 volt battery to test each pin on the existing 6-way to determine their function, then simply connect the appropriate wires...
