Expert Answers about Mazda MX-5 Miata


  • 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...

  • Trailer Hitch for Use with a Bike Rack on a 2009 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  • We have one trailer hitch for the 2009 Mazda MX-5 Miata. It is Curt hitch # C11028. It will not fit models that have the factory Appearance Package. It does work with models that have the power retractable hardtop. This is a Class I Curt trailer hitch which means a few things. You have to make sure the bike rack is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch. Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap...

  • 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...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  • 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. It will not void any warranties. It has a class I rating so as long as you are using a class I rated bike rack there won't be any issues. I recommend the Thule Helium Pro 2 Bike Rack part # TH9042PRO which is super lightweight and comes with locks for security.

  • Best Bike Rack Options for a 2010 Mazda Miata Convertible
  • There is an option that will allow you to carry bikes with your 2010 Mazda Miata Convertible, however, our bike rack manufacturers have determined that the trunk mount bike rack options are not a good fit for the convertible models. Your best option for carrying bikes is to add a trailer hitch and use a hitch mount bike rack. For your Miata, you can use the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, # C11028. I have attached a photo of this hitch installed on Miata so you can see how it will look. For...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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 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...

  • Trailer Wiring Extension to Go From Motor Home to Flat Towed 2008 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  • What you need is the Roadmaster extension loop, # RM-300150-00. This is a 6 foot long cable with 4-Way ends. Both are male ends which is what you should need (the motor home and front of vehicle should have the same female connector). I have included a couple of helpful links to our FAQ articles on flat towing for you as well.

  • 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...

  • 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,...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  • For your 2011 Mazda Miata, I recommend the Kuat Beta Folding 2 Bike Aluminum Rack # B202-114. This is a quality, light-weight bike rack designed to fit in 1-1/4 inch hitch receivers like that on you Miata. The Beta features an anti-wobble system to reduce rattle in the hitch receiver, and has a folding design to allow access to the trunk of the vehicle. The shank rise will help provide better ground clearance for your bikes. I have attached a review video of this hitch on a Mazda 3 for...
