Question:

Hello, My wife and I recently purchased the redesigned 2017 Mazda CX-5. I was wondering if any hitches have been confirmed to fit on the new body? Thanks,

We do have the trailer hitch that will fit your 2017 CX-5.

I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76138. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening.

If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in 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 include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

If you need trailer wiring I recommend the Wiring Harness # C59496. This includes an install kit and also a circuit tester that you can use to identify the wires by function.

If you are not planning on towing and have a specific item in mind that you want to use the hitch for, let me know and I will be glad to make some recommendations that will work for you.
