The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH68VR rating of 600lbs maximum tongue weight is the maximum weight the receiver is capable to support. It will not increase the factory rating for your 2021 Mazda CX-5. According to your owners manual the maximum towing capacity is 2,000lbs and the maximum tongue weight allowed is 10-15% of your CX-5 Carbon Turbo AWD. This gives you a maximum tongue weight of 300lbs per the manual.
This receiver having a 2" opening will allow for you to use a much wider arrange of ball mounts, bike racks, and cargo carriers than the 1-1/4" receiver restricts you to.
The Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118746 will plug into your factory connections on your tail lights so that you do not need to do any splicing of the tail light wires. This will give you a 4-way flat connector that is needed for most small trailer as well as Auxiliary Lights # C53201 that you may need for a bike rack or cargo carrier.
