Question:
I have a 2019 Mazda CX-5 that I need trailer wiring for, I see you have a couple kits. Which is the better option?

Expert Reply:
For your 2019 Mazda CX-5 we have two trailer wiring harnesses...the Tekonsha kit part # 118746 that I recommend and the Curt # C56377 which is also a solid choice, but the Tekonsha is the better route.
The reason I recommend the Tekonsha is because it will be more resistant to internal shorts of the converter box due to shorts on the trailer's wiring. This is mainly due to the higher amperage rating of the converter box (7.5/5 amps compared to 6/3 amps of the Curt) and because in general Tekonsha boxes just are the most reliable around.
I attached an install video for this harness for you to check out as well.
