  1. 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.
  2. 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?
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. I inquired if, if my phone fails to connect to the automobile, we should attempt using a different phone. Once a phone is authenticated, the automobile recognizes that device, and attempting to sign in with the same credentials on a different phone will be unsuccessful. What should I do if I misplace my phone? A 12-hour hold is implemented anytime an unidentified individual (except the driver and secondary driver) attempts to sign in. This is to avert a theft scenario when another individual takes control of the application. What are the implications if we fail to recognize that our vehicle has been taken for a duration of 12 hours?
  7. This morning, I got a call from my sales representative, one day beyond the scheduled vehicle pickup date. The Telematics Control Unit (TCU) requires replacement. Pending delivery for one month. I requested the return of my deposit. Awaiting a response.
  8. Today was the day to get a new vehicle. Prior to payment, the dealer representative attempted to register me with MyMazda and encountered Error 400C06; the same code appeared on two more phones. The dashboard did not display the "In Vehicle Network Malfunction Error." The service crew worked on it for around one hour before submitting a request to Mazda Canada. I opted not to make the payment, and my sales representative provided me with transportation home. Five hours have passed without a resolution. I acknowledge that for each individual experiencing issues with MyMazda, there are presumably several more who have no incentive to participate in this forum due to the functionality of their app.
  9. Thank you for your response. Based on your statement, I should not be concerned about the bricking issue if I purchase the Mazda PHEV manufactured on November 23. The price of the car is excellent.
  10. I am the owner of a 2017 Mazda6 GT and an enthusiast of the vehicle. Seeking to acquire a larger vehicle, I observed a dealer's car available for sale with only 6 kilometres on the odometer. The 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV Premium AWD, the highest variant, was manufactured in November 2023. The cost is USD 38,000. I am aware that individuals have encountered issues with this vehicle. Are these issues significant enough to overlook the $15,000 price difference that I will incur for any alternative three-row seating vehicle? What protections do I possess about a certified dealer used car if it becomes inoperable, as others have indicated? I intend to operate solely in hybrid or petrol mode. Any insights would be valued.
  11. That is really foolish. It remains listed from when I setup my car at the beginning of my investigation in mid-January. I just visited Mazdausa.com, and it remains accessible. It is included in the premium protection plan for $650, with a standalone option available for $150, but availability is to be determined. If they have discontinued it, they should remove it from their website.
  12. Thank you for your contribution! I want an item that is robust and long-lasting. I own a white Siberian husky mix puppy that is rather little yet has a propensity for chewing. He has gnawed through materials I believed to be impervious. The Tuxmat has a more prominent side lip in comparison to the Mazda mat. Typically, this is advantageous; but, for this little creature, I believe it will swiftly transform into a chew toy.
  13. Where can I get these? The dealership informed me that they are not accessible via Mazda. It seems that WeatherTech does not manufacture these. Is anybody using an aftermarket product that works effectively?
