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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cargo Tray with Seatback Protectors - now unavailable?

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. -

Are the OEM mats no longer available? -

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. -
Exterior Mirrors Fail to Acknowledge Driver Memory
honeycut_mazda5 replied to xsports's topic in General Car Chat
Mazda undoubtedly made some unconventional decisions. The rear taillights are, in my opinion, the most offensive. Numerous owners of the PHEV PP have replaced their components with fully lighted versions, and the cost difference for the parts is minimal, leaving me perplexed as to why Mazda did not include them in the highest trim level of the PHEV. Additionally, there is an absence of CTS (PHEV PP includes MRCC), a deficiency of a centre console in the second row, and uncoordinated fender flares, among other issues. -

What should I consider before purchasing a 2025 model?
honeycut_mazda5 replied to honeycut_mazda5's topic in General Car Chat
Regrettably, it is a financial exploitation and mostly advantageous for early users of solar technology. Investing an additional $10,000 to $15,000 for a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle or a fully electric vehicle is illogical until my annual mileage exceeds 20,000 miles. The temperature here is not chilly at all. However, I like the choice of MHEV or PHEV. -

I typically do not object to a strong ride; nevertheless, my family prefers a softer experience, hence smaller wheels are preferable. The mountainous terrain in my area leads me to believe that a turbo engine would enhance fuel efficiency. However, the petrol prices in my vicinity are very expensive. Acquiring a PHEV will not recover the expenditure; however, if the $7,500 tax credit is used, it may achieve a break-even point. The intention is to exchange the vehicle within 8 to 10 years. -
I have not yet determined whether to get the PHEV or the Turbo S trim. I am uncertain if the dealers in my vicinity are transferring the lease-to-buyout tax credit. I am in San Diego and will be visiting Hello Mazda and Escondido dealerships. I assume both are offering 0% for 36 months. I will do a test drive within the following week. I am cognisant of several complaints of gear grinding in 1-2 gear on PHEV vehicles. What further factors should I consider? The PHEV dashboard and interior reportedly creak and rattle.

Breaking News - Once Again Malfunctioned! It is time to replenish your popcorn container! Fewer than 24 hours, same issue. CarPlay does not transmit any audio, lacks control over FM/AM radio, and produces no sound even if the radio is accessible. The speaker symbol is crossed out. My ex contacted Mazda service and instructed to bring the vehicle in next week. Nevertheless, she was indeed near and completed the task after concluding the conversation. They suggested the usual possibilities, such that it may be the cord or the phone itself. She immediately instructed them to switch to the radio, resulting in no difference. Upon their consensus over its malfunction, she arranged for the automobile to be delivered on Tuesday. She firmly addressed them without being impolite (doing foolishly yields no benefits in our perspective), however this does not imply that one must be submissive either. She informed them unequivocally that she would be reporting this to Mazda USA and filing an official complaint. If given the option, she would return the CX-90. She has almost operated a loaner vehicle (CX-5 or smaller) compared to her CX-90! Several noteworthy observations: @ASH8 sent a Technical Service Bulletin about the amplifier's connections for a CX-50 for me to recommend to the service department. They declined to consider it since the TSB is not applicable to the CX-90. Unrelated to the radio, there is a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) that has been issued since August regarding headlights and wet conditions. She presented it to them and requested its completion; nevertheless, they expressed uncertainty over their knowledge of it and its execution. Although the personnel in service are undoubtedly kind individuals, I really dislike the "I don't know" or "No, we won't" attitude. She displayed the TSB PDF from her phone; how could they respond with anything other than, "Okay, we will address that"?

My ex retrieved her vehicle "early," specifically before the 9th, contrary to their previous communication last week; they had possessed her CX-90 for an extended period. No paperwork was provided; she was informed that she would get an email about the job. Nevertheless, this Service Department has informed me of such, although I have received nothing. Do not anticipate component numbers. She was informed that the CX-90's "Tuner" and "Amplifier" had been changed. I instructed her to enquire if the car's software had been upgraded to v10014, but they just responded with, "No updates were required." I have discovered that this does not equate to the absence of updates. During the testing, they fitted the replacement component, and sound was restored. They then reinstalled the original component, resulting in the cessation of sound. They reported that they conducted this exchange several times, consistently obtaining the same outcomes of functionality or non-functionality. They did not inform her if they replaced one or both of the new components during the testing. It is quite difficult to comprehend that both the tuner and amplifier have failed. If it is accurate, then is unfortunate! She is really pleased to get her CX-90 returned, remarking that the CX-30 handled like a box, amusingly. If she receives an email detailing the actions taken and items replaced, I will return and share it.
