How Much Can the 2026 MAZDA CX-70 PHEV Tow?
The 2026 MAZDA CX-70 PHEV can tow up to 3,500 pounds across both trim levels when properly equipped with a Genuine Mazda Towing Accessory hitch, available as a dealer-installed or port-installed option. Unlike the 2026 Mazda CX-70 inline-6 models, the 2026 Mazda CX-70 PHEV does not have access to Towing Mode, so the 3,500-pound rating is the maximum for both the 2026 Mazda CX-70 PHEV SC and 2026 Mazda CX-70 PHEV SC Plus trims. Jenkins Mazda Ocala can walk you through hitch options and confirm the right setup for your towing needs.

What the 2026 MAZDA CX-70 PHEV Can Tow
A 3,500-pound towing capacity allows the 2026 MAZDA CX-70 PHEV to handle a wide range of light trailers commonly used in Central Florida. Examples that may fall within that limit include a 17- to 19-foot aluminum fishing boat on a trailer, a trailer carrying two personal watercraft, a small pop-up camper or teardrop trailer, a loaded single-axle utility trailer, and many small landscaping or cargo trailers. Larger fiberglass boats, heavier travel trailers, and enclosed car haulers will generally exceed the towing rating of the 2026 Mazda CX-70 PHEV.
Finance CenterTowing Setup for the MAZDA CX-70 PHEV
A Genuine Mazda Towing Accessory hitch must be installed before towing with the 2026 MAZDA CX-70 PHEV. The hitch is available through Jenkins Mazda Ocala as a dealer-installed option. According to the owner's manual, tongue weight should remain within 10 to 15 percent of the trailer's loaded weight. For a 3,500-pound trailer, that equals approximately 350 to 525 pounds of tongue weight. The 2026 Mazda CX-70 PHEV has a curb weight of approximately 5,050 pounds, so passengers, cargo, and tongue weight must all be considered when calculating the total vehicle load.
