CX-9 Picture Thread

Here is my 2012 CX9 loaded up on my Trip from Everett, WA to Wichita, Ks.
Got around 10 or 12 miles per Gallon on average went thru WA, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, and Kansas.
Crossing a few mountain passes with no issues.
Have the same issue with BSM whenever I'm pulling the bike trailer and think it is trailer entering the field of view for the BSM.
I just check my mirrors more then usual when pulling the trailer and bikes.
Did a trip from Wichita to San Antonio to drop off two of my bikes back at the house and then back to Wichita with empty trailer.
The car has done really well on all trips pulling the trailer, gas mileage does suffer but that is expected.

Nice! Where did you get your draw bar for your hitch? Weight rating? The one I bought for mine has a really small tongue weight of like less than 300 lbs, which it looks like your tongue weight was likely more than that.
Here is what I have on my hitch, it is a adjustable Hitch for up and down. The Kendon trailer likes to be level and a drop or straight Hitch does not work on the Mazda. Had same issue on my Truck that caused the back end of the trailer to be up in the air.
Tongue Weight is 500 bs.
I purchased this one from Auto Zone I believe.

Trailer Weight is 400 Lbs
Bike Weight is about 600 Lbs
Other items on the trailer are about 200 Lbs
Total is around 1200 to 1300 Lbs.
Here are some better pictures of the Hitch and trailer hook up.
Added a couple more for a closer look at the Hitch and receiver.

- 2009 Mazda CX9 Grand Touring
Hi All. Intro post. This is the wife's new 2009 GT AWD. Got it about 2 weeks ago with 78k on it from the dealership I used to work at. It's got nav, bose, rear camera, bsm, and dvd. I come from a ford family and drive an expedition so to keep a vehicle kinda in that family is nice. It's our first Mazda and the quality is much higher than I remember Mazdas being. Love the ride and size.
Awesome pic. I love this pic. White is my fav color too. Thanks for sharing.
Nice...damn I want to put 20s on mine. Looks great in white. I would have gotten it too but already have pearl on the 3.
