I have read a few places that the CX-9 has decent towing capacity but I want to see what your experience may be. I have a 2014 CX-9 GT with front-wheel drive only and 20” wheels (not sure if that’s relevant).

What can I typically tow? What is the maximum safe capacity? Looking at getting a 14’ sailboat or a teardrop camper.

 

I found this: "Although the engine is the same across all drivetrains and trim levels, the 2014 Mazda CX 9 towing capacity ranges from 2,000 lbs for 2WD models up to 3,500 lbs for AWD models."
