Appreciate if anyone knows if I fit an aftermarket towbar to my CX-60 (on order), do I still have a towing mode available or does that only come with the factory fitted towbar?

 

I had my local Mazda cab add the pop out one. Note they did have to wait several weeks for the part to arrive.

 

That's interesting. I heard there is a shortage of towbars and they are encouraging me to use a third party. I was concerned that the 'Tow' mode would not be present in a retro fitted senario.

 

Hi Dave,
I was interested in your question and wondering if you have got any further with an answer or if you have got a third party towbar fitted and if the towing option is displayed when you hook the trailer on?
I am looking at getting a CX60, and debating to get on with a factory towbar or get a third party towbar fitted after the purchase.
Thanks

 

Sorry, I ended up getting my local Mazda dealer to fit the drop down towbar once the stock became available.

 

I just purchased a cx60 homoura. It foesnt have a towing option on drive selector. Can i have a tow bar fitted and towva van?

 

I ended up getting mazda to fit the electric towbar, the option is there now.

 

When I had mine fitted ( at a cost of £ 1100 ! ) I was told that it was as you suspected. But at least this was fitted to factory spec, I.e button in the load area to extend the tow bar and full electrics
hope this helps

 

update.
I had an after market removable tow bar fitted and now Towing mode is selectable. So don't get duped by mazdas over priced tow bars. They want 1200 git it done at my house for 700.
