What Trailer Hitch Fits My 2016 or a 2016.5 Model of Mazda CX-5?

Question:

Hello, Id like to buy a trailer hitch for my 2016 Mazda CX-5. I didnt realize until now that theres a 2016 CX-5 and a 2016.5 CX-5... do you know how I can tell if my CX-5 is the mid-year updated version?

Great question! Even though I do not have the specific differences between a 2016 model and a 2016.5 model of Mazda CX-5, all of the hitches we carry are confirmed to fit both of these models.

For the best hitch whether you have a 2016 or a 2016.5 model, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # C13315. Not only does it come with a super easy installation that takes about 50 minutes to complete, it comes with a higher-quality gloss outer coat over the base powder coat to provide you with better protection against rust and corrosion than other brands. With this factor, you do not need to worry about deterioration. Additionally, the Curt hitch comes with a concealed crosstube that takes away any bulky eyesores that come with hitch designs with a visible crosstube. This provides your vehicle with a more factory look.

If you plan to do any towing, I recommend the 4-way wiring harness # 118563. This harness works with all 2016 models with or without LED lights.

If you need help with the installation process, I went ahead and attached videos that walks you through the steps for the hitch and the harness.
