Now that is how a crossover is supposed to be used! Nice car and bike, what cross bars are those?

Thanks!

I use Thule AeroBlade Load Bar Pair ARB43, with Thule 598 Criterium for my bicycle rack.

Thanks for the link, sure like that Thule product line. You experience any wind noise or loss of MPG with the cross bars?

That's what I did, silver roof rack was random and did not match at all.

I do like the look of your rack, kept the dark theme. I will probably go for a change in a couple months. Did you paint it flat black or so that's what the picture looks like from the angle?

Yea I had a auto paint place do it matte black. Wasnt powder coated, very good quality. Btw the end caps are plastic.

What kind of paint did you use for your brake pad covers?

 

[rrrsma]

Dupli-Color Caliper Paint. There is actually a kit you can buy. I got mine from Canadian Tire. See sample below

Well worth it if it looks that good in 5 years. I just waxed my soul red CX-5 and it's not even close to looking like yours.

Get a bottle of Prima Hydro

My CX-5 hooked up to our Easter weekend accommodation.

Trailer weight is a max of 1464kg which the car tows comfortably.

Lol that looks funny. Is that electric brake or surge brake? Also, if electric what kind of brake controller do you use?

Brake is a standard European over-run brake system

Electrical connections are via a 13-pin plug mounted on the car's towbar and (amongst other things) ensure the road lights and brake lights operate in conjunction with those on the car.

Yes Messrs Clarkson et al are well known for the virulence of their prejudices..........and the fact that everyone can laugh at their antics.

You are daring, looks like a jack-knife waiting to happen. I too went immediately to a few caravan Top Gear episodes....LOL.

Not in the slightest. As long as you don't drive like a maniac it's very stable. Smooth as silk and steady too at 60mph.

Pretty impressive. You Brits certainly use your vehicles differently than us Yanks!

Cool video, that trailer is amazingly light weight to be single axle. Loading it would be critical for proper tongue weight. I do like the part where they show the easy fold down seats and they don't have to remove the head rests.

I do a lot of towing, but for me I use a 6000+ pound full size SUV to do the job. Happy travels!

Took these after a crops country flight.
