Expert Reply:
For your 2023 Mazda CX-5, I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit # 76138.
This is a class III trailer hitch that has a maximum towing capacity of 4,500-lbs, a maximum tongue weight capacity of 675-lbs, and features an easy bolt-on installation, requiring no welding.
The only thing you're going to want to make sure is to check your owner's manual for your vehicle's maximum towing capacity and make sure that you're not overloading your vehicle.
You're also going to need trailer lights as well, so I also recommend adding the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C45FV.
