Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2018 Mazda CX-9 Video

The trailer hitch that I recommend for your 2018 Mazda CX-9 is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver #76020. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver that has a max gross trailer weight of 4,500 lbs and a max tongue weight of 675…

The ideal height will actually have to do with how tall the coupler of the trailer is from the ground. The Draw-Tite #76020 will sit at 13 1/2 inches from the ground to the top of the hitch when installed on a 2016 Mazda CX-9. From what I could find…

Based on my research, the 2015 Honda Pilot has an OEM 2 inch Class III Trailer Hitch so the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount #D210 would be a great fit for your Pilot. This ball mount only reduces the tongue weight capacity of your OEM trailer hitch when…

The MaxxTow Ball Mount #MT70066 has an overall Tongue Weight (TW) rating of 500 lbs. This means that if you are not using the ball mount portion you have 500 lbs to work with, if you are not using the top receiver you have the 500 lbs to work with,…

In order to install a 7-way trailer connector on a 2022 Mazda CX-9 you'll need to start with a 4-way, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package part #118278 which is plug-in-play. Then you can adapt this into a 7-way using the 4 to…

In order to tow a trailer with a 2018 Mazda CX-9 you'll first need to start with a trailer hitch and for this I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part #e87AR which offers a direct bolt-on fit. This trailer hitch has a hidden design…

The Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller #C51180 won't itself provide any charge to your trailer mounted battery, but you certainly can still have a 12V power wire ran from the 7-Way to the battery for this purpose with the Echo in place. The Echo…

I have a solution for you but the Draw Tite QSP anti rattle item #63080 you referenced can only be used on Draw Tite hitches. For a similar option you will want to use the Hitch Receiver Immobilizer II item #BX88224 which can be used on etrailer…
