To tow your motorcycle trailer with you 2016 Mazda Miata you will need both a hitch and a vehicle wiring harness.
For the 2016 Miata, if you do not already have a hitch, them I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C11435.The hitch will install to your vehicle without any drilling or welding required.
For a wiring harness, the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness With 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, # C56300 is confirmed to fit the 2016 Mazda Miata. The connector will plug into existing factory plugs on you vehicle.
An adapter will need to be installed to allow you to connect the 6-pole connector on the trailer to the 4-pole connector on your Miata. The Mighty Cord 4 Pole to 6 Pole Adapter, # A10-6034VP, will allow you to connect the trailer's 6 pole to the Miata's 4 pole plug. The Mighty Cord adapter will include a 12-volt power source and brake wire circuit that will connect to a brake controller if applicable.
Make sure you consult your Owner's Manual on any restrictions or limitations that your 2016 Mazda Miata might have for towing a trailer.

Is there a way to get the pin out for the plug? Like the person stated above, I am interested in a bushtec trailer as well. Their pin out has: Brake Light, Run Light, Aux Power, Left Turn, Right Turn and Ground. There is no explanation as to what the connector pins that came with this kit do. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
