Tongue Weight Capacity for 2014 Mazda CX-5 Trailer Hitch and Motorcycle Carrier
Question:
Would you be able to confirm if Item # e98902 would allow me to carry a motorcycle on a Black Widow motorcycle carrier with a 600lb weight limit? The 2014 Mazda CX-5 specs only speak of a 200 lb tongue weight limit. Since this hitch offers a 600 lb tongue weight, would it be safe to use if loading up to 600 pounds on it? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
The hitch is rated independent of the vehicle so with the 2014 Mazda CX-5 owners manual specifying a lower 200 lb capacity, that will be the max capacity including the carrier weight.
The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98902 is rated for a 600 lb tongue weight. This hitch will allow you to use a motorcycle carrier and motorcycle but you need to subtract the weight of the carrier from the 600 lb maximum.
