Is there a Difference in the Trailer Hitches for a 2016 and 2016.5 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring  

Question:

What is the difference between 2016 and 2016.5 that a different hitch is needed? I have 2016.5 CX-5.

The announced differences between the 2016 and 2016.5 Mazda CX-5 would not affect fit. The hitch fits are actually the same (for the most part) for both 2016 and 2016.5 models. For example Draw-Tite hitch # 76138 fits both.

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, 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 to the rear of the vehicle.
