Hey Craig, there isn't really a difference between the Curt # C59236 and # C56331. The main difference is that # C56331 is custom so it'll plug in line with your OEM wiring, and # C59236 is universal and can be spliced into any vehicle's wiring.

As far as fuses go, the custom # C56331 one has to be fused at 10 amps max, and the universal one # C59236 has to be fused at 15 amps max.

Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with!

Answer 8

For your 2021 Mazda CX-5 I recommend going with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C13315 you mentioned over the Draw-Tite #76138 due to the Curt hitches being made in the USA, and them having a tougher powder coat finish which we have noticed holds up…

A support strap, like part #18050, is required by warranty on many Curt trailer hitch receivers for non-towing applications. However, the Curt Class III hitch for a 2017 Mazda CX-5, part #C13315, does not have this requirement. I verified with Curt…

I do have a solution for you to carry both of your bikes with your Mazda CX-5 but unfortunately an adapter like part #HTAD isn't the way that I recommend going. Not only does it cut the weight rating of your trailer hitch in half, it will also…
