  • Understanding Vehicle Payload And Tongue Weight
  • Payload is any weight added to the vehicle, including cargo and passengers inside; it doesn't matter if it is in front or behind the rear axle. Tongue weight, on the other hand, is any weight added behind the rear axle of the vehicle; this includes cargo in the trunk or bed along with the tongue weight of your trailer. Tongue weight counts as payload. In your case, the cargo carrier and everything on the cargo carrier will count as tongue weight, thus counting as payload as well. I attached...

  • Can 1988 Mazda B2200 Pickup Truck With Manual Transmission Be Safely Flat Towed
  • I did some online research for your 1988 Mazda B Series pickup and was unable to find specific information for towing. Typically, on a 2-wheel drive manual transmission vehicle, they can be safely towed if the vehicle transmission is in neutral. On a 4-wheel drive vehicle they can also typically be towed safely if the transmission is in neutral and the transfer case is in neutral as well, but I strongly urge you to consult your owners manual or your Mazda dealership to make certain your...

  • How to Use Brake Controller With 2021 Mazda CX-5 With Only 4-Way
  • The issue with your 2021 Mazda CX-5 isn't the wiring or ground, it's that you only have a 4-way, which controls the lighting, but does not control electric trailer brakes.

  • Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack Weight
  • The Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # C18085 has a shipping weight of 50lbs and packaging probably weighs 2-3lbs so 46lbs is the correct weight. This hitch has an extra folding feature the others don't which adds more weight and that along with the 10" rise and less plastic used is most likely the difference in weight compared to the others.

  • Noise Level Inside Vehicle When Adding a Roof Rack
  • The Rola 59833 does not give a decibel increase when the rack is installed as that will change based on speed and change with the weather conditions. Most roof rack systems will have a noticeable sound because you are changing the aerodynamics of your vehicle by adding the crossbars. The bulkier the system the more noise, so square bars and bulky towers will be the worst offenders. The Rola rack you asked about has very sleek lines with aero crossbars for a more factory appearance...

  • How To Tell If Lights On 2015 Mazda 3 Are LED Or Incandescent
  • You can find out if you have LEDs a couple of ways. The easiest is to remove the lens of the lights and if it has a bulb it is incandescent. If it has diodes then it is LED. Another way is to turn the lights on and then watch as you turn them off. If the light go off abruptly, they are probably LED. If the filament takes a moment to go out then it is probably a bulb. The third way is to contact your dealer with the VIN and they will be able to tell you what lights are on your Mazda 3.

  • Is An Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin Included With A Trailer Hitch
  • It seems that the person you spoke with is confused. A stabilization strap and an anti-rattle bolt do not serve the same purpose. A stabilization strap helps support the non-trailer load on the hitch, while an anti-rattle bolt helps to eliminate the rattle or wobble of the shank in the trailer hitch. Per Curt's warranty, the # 18050 stabilization straps need to be used with all non-trailer loads. I spoke with my contact in Curt's technical department who confirmed that the stabilization...

  • Why Does Cost for Kit of 2 Stabilizer Jacks Change from Individual Cost for Same 2 Jacks?
  • Good question. The Stabilizer Jack - 6-1/4" Drop Leg Travel - 18" - 650 lbs - Qty 1 # TJ01RT doesn't come with the Replacement Handle Rod for etrailer and Ram Stabilizer Jacks - 650 lbs # SJ-100-HD which does come included in the kit # TJ01RT-HD. The pricing does change based on the manufacturer costs and stock at any given time, so it is wise to compare as you have done.
