Mazda Tribute for towing


Check the vehicle handbook, but my data base reveals the following:
4 Cylinder has a max tow weight of 1000Kg & a max ball weight of 100Kg.
6 Cylinder has a max tow weight of 1600Kg & a max ball weight of 160Kg. A WDH is also required.

No problem Chris's ! I towed a 16'6 Avan poptop full loaded wght 1540 kgs, for about 35000 klms all up, No problems at all ! if you search my early posts you will find some facts and figures, if not PM me and I will help if i can,

Note !! as Ozjohn said, It must be the 6 Cyl and you will need a WDH

the tribute v6 I had was great to tow with plenty of power but with a small fuel tank and bad fuel consumption with the 14ft aerolight caravan I had at the time 280k was the best I ever achieved out of a tank of fuel.
