Mazda CX-9 towing capacity

[Smithlisam15]

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I have a 2012 Mazda CX-9 AWD. I am looking into buying an ultra light travel trailer weighing 2700 lbs. it's a Starcraft launch 17b. The dealer is saying that my car can pull 3500lbs, not including the weight of the loaded car, and that it has its own braking system and is perfectly safe to toe this trailer. It has a hitch you gues weight of 400 lbs and tow weight capacity of 4,000 lbs... I'd like to get a few more opinions, thanks!

Lisa,

Make sure that looking for "a few more opinions" doesn't equate to looking for someone who will support what you're wanting to do. Nobody on this thread that knows what they're talking about is going to tell you to go ahead and exceed the capabilities of your tow vehicle. It just wouldn't be safe or smart.

Looks like you are limited to a popup, a low teardrop, or maybe a small egg trailer. You don't have much of a vehicle for towing.
