Mazda towing capacity, by configuration

There are 9 published Mazda configurations here across 2 models, and they span 3,500 to 5,000 lb. A single number for a Mazda model is wrong for most of them — the CX-90 alone spans 3,500–5,000 lb on the same badge.

Pick your model, then find your exact configuration on its page. The tow rating is where you start — what you actually need to buy is sized to the trailer, not the truck.

Common questions

How much can a Mazda tow?

It depends entirely on the exact configuration, not the model name. Across the 2 Mazda vehicles published here there are 9 distinct configurations ranging from 3,500 to 5,000 lb. Find your own model in the table on this page, then your exact engine, drivetrain combination on its page.

Why does one Mazda model have more than one tow rating?

Because the rating is set by the configuration, not the badge. The Mazda CX-90 is the clearest example here: it spans 3,500–5,000 lb, a 43% difference between its lowest and highest published configuration. Two trucks with the same name on the tailgate can be thousands of pounds apart.

Where do these Mazda numbers come from?

Each one is read positionally from Mazda's own published towing chart or specification page, linked on every vehicle page. We publish no figure we cannot point at a manufacturer source for. See how this is made.

Why is there no payload figure for Mazda here?

Because payload is specific to your individual vehicle, not to the model — it is printed on the certification label in your driver's door jamb. Your tongue weight counts against it, which is why it matters when you tow.
