Has anyone had experience towing with the 2.5L manual? I want to put a hitch on my sedan (against the better judgment of the owners manual) There's a genpu in my town that I see towing sleds occasionally, so I know it can be done. Just a matter on if it's reasonable or not.
Funny thing about that . No recommended tow rating for U.S.
Mazda Australia says 600 kilos (1323 lbs) unbraked. 1200 (2646) braked.
Make of it what you will.
I would be not afraid to tow using the Aussie limits.
I may be a little crazy that way though. I once put a hitch on first gen Ford Fiesta (66hp).
Happily, I do my towing now with a CX-5, not my 3, so easy for me to say.
