Question:
Bought a 2025 Mazda CX70 without factory trailer hitch. Wanting to add a notch and 2 axle brake controller. Looking for suggestion on cleanest/easiest hitch/controller/wiring. Not sure what factory wiring is in place. Suggestions? Thanks

Hey John, the cleanest brake controller install for your 2025 Mazda CX-70 would be the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED52VR which only puts a small knob on the dash of your vehicle. Since your vehicle does not have the tow package to install it you would first need to install a 4-way kit with the part # C24ZV and then convert it to a 7-way with the part # ETBC7 which also comes with everything needed to wire in a brake controller.
Then for a hitch the Curt part # C74MJ is the best option as only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper which gives it an almost hidden look.

The install video on the C74MJ product page shows it being installed on a CX-90. Is the no-hassle procedure where the hitch bolts into existing weld-nuts the same for the CX-70? Thanks.
