Hi All,
I own a 2016 CX-5 GT w/ 2.5 liter engine. Towing maximum is stated as 2000 lbs. I'm pondering getting a "lightweight" travel trailer. Specifically looking at the A-Liner models (Ranger 12 or Scout) that weigh in 1450 ~ 1395 lbs, respectively. Of course thats "Dry weight" with no add-ons, and gear. What's the opinion of the community on towing this much weight with my CX-5? What about packing gear in the car...does that not count as towing weight also? And what about getting a transmission cooler? (if there's such a thing) ~ Thank you.
