Is Trailer Hitch Installation the Same for All Models of the 2015 Mazda CX-5
Question:
Will the installation be harder or require extra steps from those on the instructions if I am installing a 2inch hitch receiver on a Mazda CX 5 with ALL WHEEL DRIVE vs. a CX 5 that is not AWD?

Installation of Curt trailer hitch # C13315 on a 2015 Mazda CX-5 will be the same on all models, front wheel drive and all wheel drive. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view.
If you plan on doing some towing be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for the vehicle tow capacities. To complete the towing set up I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount, interchangeable ball set, a hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
For trailer wiring you can use # 118563. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.
