MAZDA CX-50 Towing Capacity
Living near Dedham, Norwood, Foxborough, or Stoughton, Massachusetts, means discovery is always within reach. The first-ever 2023 Mazda CX-50 is designed to unleash your wild side, which means it comes prepared with some alluring capabilities. For instance, the Mazda CX-50 can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped!
Our team at Ira Mazda put together this guide to show readers how the Mazda CX-50 towing capacity and other capabilities lead you to all sorts of adventure. Let’s begin!
How Much Can the MAZDA CX-50 Tow?
The Mazda CX-50 can be equipped with two different engines, each one supporting different towing capacities:
|
Engine |
Horsepower |
Torque |
Towing Capacity |
|
Skyactiv®-G 2.5L Engine |
187 HP |
186 lb-ft |
2,000 lbs. |
|
Skyactiv®-G 2.5L Turbo Engine |
256 HP |
320 lb-ft |
3,500 lbs. |
If you choose a model equipped with the base engine, you can tow items like a lightly loaded utility trailer, a pop-up camper, a small aluminum boat, or a jet ski. If you need more pulling power, the Mazda available turbo engine raises the towing capacity to 3,500 pounds, which is equivalent to these toys:
- Multiple jet skis
- Lightweight travel trailer
- Utility trailer with a few snowmobiles
Regardless of which engine is under the hood, you’ll be able to tow cargo to your next adventure.
How Else Can I Use My Tow Hitch?
What if you want to leave your cargo at home for your next trip? The Mazda CX-50 integrated tow hitch can be used in other convenient ways, such as:
- Cargo Management: Attachable cargo holders work with tow hitches, and they’re useful for carrying firewood, camping supplies, tools, and more.
- Bike Racks: If you enjoy mountain biking or trail riding, a bike rack can hold up to five bikes, and it frees up valuable trunk space.
- Trailer Hitch Hammock: Who says you need trees to hang a hammock? With the proper accessory, you can use your trailer hitch to support an on-the-go hammock.
- Hitch Cover: When your trailer hitch isn’t in use, you can purchase a hitch cover that adds personality to your Mazda CX-50.
When you’re not hauling equipment, how will you use your tow hitch receiver?
Elevate Your Adventures in the MAZDA CX-50
Other than being able to tow toys, the Mazda CX-50 can provide convenience in other areas as well. Take its standard i-Activ AWD® drivetrain and Mazda Intelligent Drive Select, for instance. These two features work together to provide the most stable ride no matter the terrain under your wheels.
This sporty SUV will also help you cover lots of ground between fill-ups thanks to its 15.8-gallon fuel tank capacity and its EPA-estimated 24 city/30 highway MPG rating.*
You’ve got plenty of space to fill in the Mazda CX-50 as well. When all five seats are occupied, you’ll have 31.4 cubic feet of trunk space to store your sleeping bags, tackle boxes, coolers, you name it. For more room, use the 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback to open 56.3 cubic feet of cabin cargo space.
