  2. I utilise these: Jack Pad with Slots They assert a depth of 0.86 inches; a depth of 1 inch would be optimal, although I have not encountered any that measure that deep. I have utilised them multiple times without causing any damage to the pinch weld.
  3. Superior to the alternative. 🙂 Wishing you a swift recovery.
  4. Upon receiving the car, I desire to have a temporary spare wheel prepared for installation. I will not be acquiring the authentic Mazda kit due to its cost exceeding ÂŁ600, but I require information on its compatibility with a Bose subwoofer and whether padding is necessary between the subwoofer and the spare wheel.
  5. Has anyone applied tint to their sunroof glass? I believe my CX-90 is very heated and I seek to lower its temperature.
  6. During my oil change last week, the recall work was completed in around 30 minutes. It is a software update for a computer.
  7. I purchased an HP Dash Cam from AliExpress. I own the identical feature in my three further vehicles. Do not be deterred by the remarkably low price; these dash cams are exceptional.
  8. family of six. My wife and I prefer not to have a truck or huge SUV, and we have seen that the CX90 Premiums had sufficient strength to tow a caravan weighing under 5000 pounds. Basic mathematics and reasoning indicate that any weight above 4500 pounds when fully laden is excessive. We have identified several trailers with dry weights of 3000 lbs, and we intend to load them minimally, including items such as clothing, a few pots and pans, and disposable plastic utensils to maintain a lightweight configuration. I estimate a maximum weight of 3700 pounds when completely loaded. The issue I am encountering pertains to the payload. The payload placard on the door jamb indicates 1190, which is quite low to me. The method involves taking the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the CX90, which is 6,854 pounds for the Premium 340hp version, and subtracting the curb weight of our CX90, recorded at 4,889 pounds. The calculated payload number is 1955, significantly exceeding the specified payload limit. The trailer in question has a tongue weight of 465 lbs, while the CX90 has a tongue limit of 500 lbs. The tongue weight contributes to the payload weight, leading to a total of 763 lbs for passengers, 20 lbs of additional cargo, 117 lbs for a full fuel tank, 60 lbs for a battery on the tongue, 55 lbs for a full propane tank and 95 lbs for a weight distribution hitch. The manual does not mention a Weight Distribution Hitch (WDH), and I am aware that they are not advised for unibody vehicles. The representative at Mazda indicated that it is permissible to utilise an equaliser weight distribution hitch (WDH), resulting in a payload weight of 1,595 pounds, which exceeds the sticker weight by about 400 pounds, however remains far below the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) to curb weight ratio. If I adhere to the sticker payload, I will need to seek a significantly smaller trailer with an essentially negligible hitch weight. What is the purpose if the vehicle has a towing capacity of 5000 lbs yet can barely tow anything beyond 3000 lbs? Kindly inform me if I have overlooked any details.
  9. I believe delivery is the solution in this context. I would not feel at ease placing it diagonally, if it would even fit. What is the rationale for assuming risk?
  10. Indeed. The Cc2 models in the XL series satisfy load specifications. They may imply that they do not satisfy the rolling efficiency standards or the poor tread wear ratings. However, they are positive aspects! Tires represent a compromise. The characteristics that make them effective as economical EV tires detract from their performance in almost all other tire aspects.
  11. I own a 2023 Evolve Auto model (second from the lowest tier in Australia), and I am rather certain that all our CX-30 vehicles include automatic side mirror closure upon ignition shutdown.
  12. Examine the thread, and you will see that Mazda has declared this sound to be “normal” and asserts that there is no issue with the gearbox.
