Questions people ask
How much can a Mazda CX-3 tow?
Mazda publishes no towing rating for it: "Your Mazda is not designed for towing. Never tow a trailer with your Mazda."
Can I add a hitch to the CX-3?
A hitch doesn't create a rating. Without one from Mazda, there is no trailer weight the CX-3 is rated to pull — check your owner's manual before fitting one.
