2005 Mazda Tribute hitch questions
Which trailer hitch fits a 2005 Mazda Tribute?
CURT 13650 (Class 3, 2-inch receiver, 3,500 lb), CURT 13651 (Class 3, 2-inch receiver, 3,500 lb), CURT 12060 (Class 2, 1-1/4 inch receiver, 3,500 lb), and CURT 120603 (Class 2, 3,500 lb) all fit. Pick the class that covers your trailer with room to spare, then check the fit table on the product page for your build.
How much can a 2005 Mazda Tribute tow with this hitch?
The hitch is rated to 3,500 lb gross trailer weight and 350 lb tongue weight, or 5,000 lb with a weight-distribution hitch. Your Tribute has its own tow rating in the owner's manual, and the lower number is your limit. A loaded bike rack counts against tongue weight too.
Do I need a wiring harness for the 2005 Mazda Tribute?
If a trailer is going on, yes. Brake and turn signals have to work, and CURT 56345 plugs into the factory connector so the trailer lights follow the Tribute's. Order it with the hitch and it's one install.
Will it fit my Tribute?
Nearly every build, with a few exceptions. CURT 12060 is for a Tribute that didn't come with the factory receiver. The full fit table is on each product page, so check it before you order.
