Buying an SUV with towing capacity is a bonus to Washington, PA, owners who like being outdoors more often than staying inside at home. If you are also considering a luxury SUV with towing capacity, maybe you would enjoy the Mazda CX-90. It has all the luxury features you would expect, plus a towing capacity you wouldn't expect.
Maximum Towing Capacity of 5,000 Pounds
What does 5,000 pounds look like when towing it behind an SUV? A small teardrop camper loaded with supplies is only half this maximum towing capacity. Cars weighing 4,000 pounds or less on a towing dolly are close to this maximum, as are some boats on boat trailers.
Jet skis, snowmobiles, ATVS, and motorcycles or dirt bikes on their own trailers fall somewhere in between the teardrop camper loaded down and a car on a towing dolly. That's a lot of towing power in a full-size SUV.
Maximum Towing Capacity Doesn't Apply to All Engines
The Mazda CX-90's towing capacity differs slightly for the two engine options. You can tow more with more horsepower and torque, so if you intend to haul the max, you may want to choose that engine. Towing capacity is also affected by the weight of passengers in the Mazda, extra cargo in the vehicle or in whatever is towed on the back, and the road conditions.
Invest in the Towing Package from Mazda
If you intend to tow a lot of different recreational items, be sure to order the towing package from Mazda. Have a Mazda dealership technician install the towing package to ensure it's secure and properly installed. Use only OEM Mazda towing parts to avoid accidents and damage to your vehicle. Then you can tow almost anything you want.
