All you need to know about towbars for Mazda 6
Mazda first introduced the 6 into their range in 2002. The Mazda 6 is available as a Estate, Hatchback, or Saloon. So you know you are installing the right towbar on your Mazda 6, we have looked at towing capacity, electrical kits, bumper cuts and more for each variation of Mazda 6 below.
Mazda 6 Estate Towbars
The Mazda 6 Estate was first released in 2002. To determine which variant of Mazda 6 you have, check your vehicle logbook. This will ensure you purchase the correct towbar.
Mazda 6 Estate Nose Weight
Estate models made between 2002 and 2008 have a minimum nose weight of 75 kg and a maximum nose weight of 75 kg, between 2008 and 2012 have a minimum nose weight of 75 kg and a maximum nose weight of 75 kg, between 2013 and 2016 have a minimum nose weight of 75 kg and a maximum nose weight of 75 kg, vehicles made after 2016 have a minimum nose weight of 75 kg and a maximum nose weight of 75 kg.
What does nose weight mean?
Nose weight is the force on the towball when a caravan or trailer is attached. Every towbar for every vehicle will have a specific nose weight for that vehicle which can differ between the age of the vehicle and the variation of the model. It is crucial that you don’t exceed the nose weight set on the towbar as this is dangerous and can decrease stability when towing.
Mazda 6 Estate Electric Kits
Electrical kits connect the electrics in your Estate to the electrics on your trailer, bike rack or caravan so your lights are still visible.
Electric kits for Mazda 6 Estate
We would always recommend having a dedicated electrics kit installed, where possible. This syncs with modern computer functions of your Estate, like ABS and trailer stability, rather than just basic lighting.
Why is a dedicated kit important? Well, not only does it work with the specific features of your vehicle, but it also protects the warranty of your Estate and works with any enhanced safety features you may have.
Of course, you can choose between a dedicated kit or a universal kit, and we do offer both, but a universal electrical kit can affect your manufacturer warranty and you might also need to install a bypass relay.
Mazda 6 Estate Software Update
We will alert you as to whether your Estate requires a software update when you choose your towbar electrics kit.
Does my vehicle need a software update?
Sometimes your vehicle may need a software update to accommodate your new dedicated electrical kit. This is so all of the latest computer features in your Estate can accurately co-ordinate with your towbar electrics.
Software updates can take place at your local Mazda dealership when your vehicle is in for service. Or, this can sometimes be updated at your local garage when you arrange towbar fitting through WebFit.
