A Mazda Genuine Towing Accessory hitch must be installed before using the 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV to pull a trailer. Headquarter Mazda can arrange for the hitch to be installed at the dealership or help shoppers select a vehicle with port-installed towing equipment.

The 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV does not offer Mi-Drive Towing mode. That feature is reserved for eligible 2026 Mazda CX-90 inline-six Turbo models and adjusts transmission behavior, throttle response, and stability-control settings for towing.

According to the owner’s manual guidance, trailer tongue weight should generally equal 10 to 15 percent of the trailer’s loaded weight. A trailer weighing 3,500 pounds may therefore place approximately 350 to 525 pounds on the hitch. Because the 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV has a curb weight of 5,243 pounds, drivers should also account for passengers, cargo, accessories, and tongue weight when calculating the total vehicle load.

• Mazda Genuine Towing Accessory hitch required
• Recommended tongue weight of 10 to 15 percent of the trailer’s loaded weight
• 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV curb weight of 5,243 pounds

Value Your Trade

When properly equipped, the 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV can handle a variety of recreational and work-related loads within its 3,500-pound limit. Possible examples include a 17- to 20-foot aluminum fishing boat with its trailer, two personal watercraft on a compatible trailer, a small pop-up camper, a lightweight teardrop trailer, or a loaded single-axle utility trailer.

Trailer specifications and loaded weights vary considerably, so drivers should verify the complete weight of the trailer and everything carried inside it. Larger travel trailers, fifth-wheel trailers, and heavier boats will generally exceed the rating of the 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV and require a vehicle with greater towing capability.
