If you regularly tow heavy loads like campers, trailers, boats, or outdoor equipment, you need a vehicle with a towing capacity that stands up to your lifestyle. But hauling capacity isn’t the only consideration. Cargo space, tech amenities, and fuel efficiency are also key factors to look at as your shop for vehicles. Fortunately, you won’t have to look far. Your local Mazda dealer has several great options.

Mazda CX-90

Pop-up campers, fishing boats, utility trailers, and ATVs are just a few of the things you can tow with the Mazda CX-90. This three-row crossover SUV is available with three different engines, one of which is a plug-in hybrid. The gasoline-powered versions of this SUV run on inline six-cylinder turbo engines and have an impressive hauling capacity of up to 5,000 pounds.

In addition to all of that hauling capacity, there’s ample cargo space in the SUV to carry outdoor gear, suitcases, and more. The CX-90 has 15.9 cubic feet of cargo space, which grows to 75.2 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down. Additional storage is available beneath the cargo floor. This vehicle can seat up to eight passengers, depending on the layout you select. Adaptive cruise control is standard on this vehicle.


Mazda CX-50

The Mazda CX-50 is a small SUV that blends sophisticated design with rugged features. Base models of this SUV come with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which has a hauling capacity of up to 2,000 pounds. But if you upgrade to the more powerful turbocharged engine, your hauling capacity increases to 3,500 pounds, which is enough to pull a boat or recreational trailer.

This SUV comfortably seats five and offers 31.4 cubic feet of cargo space. Folding down the second row increases the amount of cargo space to 56.3 cubic feet. When it comes to fuel economy, the CX-50 gets 24 miles per gallon in the city and 30 miles per gallon on the highway. A tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a push-button start, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto come standard on all models.  


Mazda CX-9

The Mazda CX-9 is a family-oriented mid-sized SUV with three rows of seats. All trim levels offer a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission, which gives you the capacity to tow up to 3,500 pounds. You’ll find 14.4 cubic feet of storage space behind the rear seats, which increases to 71.2 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded down.
