Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2016 Mazda CX-5
Question:
I watched the video for the 2015 install. Is the 2016 the same?

Expert Reply:
Installation of Curt trailer hitch # C13315 will be basically identical to the 2015 model we show in the linked video. I have also included a link to the installation instructions for you.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop, interchangeable ball set, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
And for trailer wiring you can use # 118563 to add a 4-Way flat connector at the back of your CX-5. I have linked a video showing an example installation of the wiring as well.
