Trailer Hitch
Does anyone, perhaps one of the UK members, have access to the Mazda part number for trailer hitch that is available in the UK? If so, would you please post it?
Thanks,
Ernest

PGB,
Thanks for the part number. I really do appreciate it.
Not sure whether the harness would work or not. Is that a separate part or does it come with the hitch?

The UK accessory list has 2 wiring harness for towing.

and
(b) the secondary 7 core harness (12S) used by campers to power auxiliary feeds in the caravan, etc. using a different style of 7 pin plug. Part # GJ8AV3921 at Ł65 !!

Neither of those will likely be suitable for the US market, which uses a dinky little 5-pin plug for most small trailers, quite unlike any I've seen overseas.

The Miata manual has a similar statement, however, I have pulled a trailer behind many of mine (four total, M1 and M2), over the past twelve years and have not had one single problem, and those trips have included ones from Alabama to Texas, Indy, Washington DC, and Canada.
If one uses some reasonable discretion in what they pull then it won't hurt the car, the RX-8 included.
Just my personal opinion based on lots of experience.
By the way, I pull a Bushtec motorcyle trailer and have had it up to 95 mph and you don't even realize it is behind you unless you look in the rearview mirror.
