Expert Reply:

If you are able to fit under the rear of your 2022 Mazda CX-5 some then I would say it's possible to do the installation without ramps, but in one of our reviews someone said they used 6" ramps and that definitely helped so I would say if you have access to some ramps go ahead and use them to install the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98902 on your vehicle.

If you don't have access to ramps but you'd like to pick some up I recommend checking out the FloTool RhinoRamps Vehicle Ramp Set # FT11909MI. These have a 6-1/2" lift and a polypropylene construction so they are a hard durable plastic (no rusting and relatively lightweight).

Attached is an installation video of the etrailer hitch on a 2022 CX-5 as well as a review video of the ramp set for you to reference.
