Question:

I am in the process of purchasing a 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid which is a new model this year. Can you tell me if the hitch you offer for a non-Hybrid CX-50 will fit the Hybrid CX-50?

Hello Rob, thanks for getting in touch. The hitches we offer for the 2025 Mazda CX-50 non-hybrid will NOT fit the hybrid model. For example, the Curt Class 3 Hitch # C38BR will fit all models of the 2025 CX-50 excluding the hybrid model. I was able to verify this with the manufacturer. There is no hitch for the hybrid model at this time.

Uhaul made me an offer to build the custom hitch for the 2025 CX 50 Hybrid as a prototype for free. All I would have to do is take the vehicle to their facility in Arizona and leave it there for 5 days. Unfortunately, I live in RI and it would cost more to drive and stay there for 5 days than it would to wait!

Do you have an idea when a hitch for the 2025 CX-50 hybrid may become available?

@Saskia I checked with Curt and they said they hope to have something "on the drawing board" for the 2025 CX-50 Hybrid next year. There is no firm ETA at this time though.

@JesseM Thank you! Do know if there are any other brands with options or timeframes for hitches for the hybrid?

@Saskia Nope sorry. Nothing else for the Hybrid at this time. The potential Curt hitch I mentioned above is the only option we are aware of, and there is currently no ETA for this hitch. If you MUST carry cargo, a roof mounted cargo rack would be the only option.

Several owners in the CX-50 forums have slightly modified the OEM "lifestyle hitch" (part VC67-V3-920) from Mazda with addition of the CURT 49950 Weld-On Raw Steel Safety Chain Loop. The thinking is that Mazda corporate is avoiding towing with the CX-50 hybrid because of concern that some users would submerge the electric (AWD) rear wheel and hybrid battery with a small boat trailer on a boat ramp. If towing small boats and boat ramps are to be avoided for obvious reasons, and the specified 1500lb tow limit rating complied with for the hybrid, is there a structural reason that an installed "lifestyle hitch" (Mazda part VC67-V3-920) could not handle towing a small 5x8 utility trailer? If this thinking is reasonable and would not void warranty, the next question is what 4-pin wiring harness for trailer lights would be compatible with the Rav4 hybrid drivetrain inside the CX-50 HEV?

@PaulF Generally we do not recommend modifying a hitch since it can void your warranty. That said, as long as the modifications do not change the structural integrity of the hitch you should be good. You would definitely want to be careful not to exceed the 1,500 lb tow limit, and yes submerging the battery sounds like a terrible idea. For a 4-pin wiring harness, use the Curt T-Connector # C45FV. This will fit all models of the 2025 CX-50, including the Hybrid.

@JesseM Curt 13630 fits all the cx50, including the hybrid.

@John Yep! Looks like they just updated it for the 2025. According to Curt now the 13630 part # C33MJ is confirmed for the 2023 - 2025 Mazda CX-50 all models.
