Yes, CURT part number 12170 is designed for 2013 and newer Mazda CX-5 Crossover models. Before purchasing, verify your vehicle matches this specification and confirm the hitch matches your vehicle using the vehicle photo and hitch illustration provided in the manual.
The manual specifies the hitch is designed for 2013 and newer Mazda CX-5 models, so it should be compatible with newer model years. However, always verify fitment by checking the vehicle photo and hitch illustration in the manual to ensure your specific vehicle matches.
The CURT 12170 is rated for a maximum of 3,500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower. Always check your vehicle's owner manual for the final towing limit.
The CURT 12170 is designed for use with ball mount #45521. Euro mount options are available: #45571 (1 7/8" ball) and #45572 (2" ball).
Required tools are: torque wrench, ratchet, 3/4" and 19mm sockets, flathead screwdriver, pliers, pry bar, masking tape, and safety glasses. Using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce installation time.
The kit includes: 3 M12x1.25 hex head cap screws (part 10-10277), 2 half-inch carriage bolts (part 10-10287), 2 serrated flange nuts (part 20-00062), 3 conical toothed washers (part 30-00149), 4 flat washers (part 30-00133), 2 square hole spacers CM-SP12, 2 pieces of 1/2" fishwire, and 2 cable ties (part 600043).
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing weld nuts in the frame rails and access holes on both sides of the vehicle. The installation uses a fishwire technique to route hardware through existing frame openings.
If a plastic underbody panel is present under the rear bumper, it must be removed by removing two plastic fasteners with a flathead screwdriver. The panel and fasteners should be returned to the vehicle owner after installation.
Yes, the exhaust must be temporarily lowered by removing two to four rearmost rubber hangers (the number depends on your vehicle). Leave the rubber hangers attached to the vehicle; they are only temporarily removed to provide clearance during installation.
Yes. Remove any plastic insert and/or electrical harness clip between the hitch mounting locations on the passenger side frame rail. On the driver side, unfasten the electrical harness clip on the outside of the frame rail and follow the harness to unfasten the nearest clip towards the center of the vehicle. These must be re-secured after the hitch is positioned (step 9).
The fishwire technique is used to route the carriage bolts and spacers through the frame rails without drilling. You thread the 1/2" fishwire through the access hole on both sides, attach it to the carriage bolt and CM-SP12 spacer, then pull the hardware through the frame rail and out the rearmost mounting location. The fishwire is then threaded through the hitch mounting holes to position the hitch, and finally removed once the hardware is in place.
Tape four 1/2" flat washers into position on the inside of the hitch side plates before beginning the fishwire process. These washers will be clamped in position between the hitch and frame rail when the M12 bolts are inserted.
The tooth side of the conical toothed washers must be against the hitch. The flat washers are clamped in position between the hitch and frame rail.
After pulling the 1/2" hardware into position and removing the fishwire, re-secure the harness that was unfastened in step 3. Wrap cable tie(s) around the hitch mounting plate(s) and harness, pull tight, and trim excess cable tie.
Torque all M12 hardware to 86.2 ft-lbs and all 1/2" hardware to 110 ft-lbs. Use a torque wrench to ensure proper fastener tension.
Two people may be required to ease installation. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product. Before you begin installation, read all instructions thoroughly. Using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce the time required.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This maintenance is important for safe towing operation.
Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. While the CURT 12170 is rated for 3,500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight, your vehicle's manufacturer may specify a lower limit. Always consult your vehicle's owner manual for the final towing capacity.
