Since your 2017 Mazda CX-5 has a Class II hitch installed on it that means the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # Y62VR will not fit. It is only compatible with class III and IV hitches with 2" receivers. We do not have any enclosed cargo carriers that will work with a 1-1/4" hitch, but we do have a carrier for you.

You could use a traditional carrier like the 20x47 Reese Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs # 63155.

I attached a review video for this carrier for you to check out as well.
