Towing capacity is lacking in the CX-5: 2000lbs MAX. is not enough. Example, a small pop-up tent trailer is about 1100lbs, 2 adults and 2 youth in our case is 450lbs, plus luggage and gear 250+lbs. So now we have 1800lbs and over the comfort level of what should be carried.
The CX-5 needs a V6 option (available on any model) and at least 3200lbs load capacity. If that was available I would have taken that engine over the bells and whistles.
Some people will say get a CX-9, well here a base model CX-9 is more than a loaded CX-5 GT by about $2000-3000.
