Mazda B2500 Towbars

Mazda B2500 Towing Specifics

The Mazda B2500 was first introduced in 1995 by the Japanese manufacturer as a series of pickup trucks, with strong towing abilities. Currently, there is one generation of the Mazda B2500, 1999-2006. We will cover the towing specifics of this generation below.

Mazda B2500 Towbar Electrics Kits

We offer universal electrics kits for the Mazda B2500 towbars, but be aware that universal electrics kits can invalidate any manufacturer warranty your vehicle has and may also require a bypass relay.

Check your Mazda warranty for more information.

Bypass Relays

All tow bars for the Mazda B2500 will not require a bypass relay if universal electrics are fitted.

A bypass relay works by powering what it is you are towing through transferring power straight from the battery instead of taking too much current away from your vehicle.

Whereas a dedicated system works in harmony with your vehicle's ECU and all of its functions.

Coding

This is the coding of the ECU to accept the dedicated system, this updates your vehicles software to run smoothly with the new towbar. Mazda B2500 1999-2006 towbars may not require coding.

Coding is used to update your vehicles software in order for it to run coherently with the new towbar through the dedicated electrics.

Bumper Cuts

Depending on the towbar, Mazda B2500 vehicles will not require a bumper cut. A bumper cut is when a fraction of the vehicle's rear bumper is cut in order to fit the towbar.

Nose Weight

Nose weight is the amount of weight pushing down on the tow ball, it is important not to exceed the nose weight set on the tow bar, failure to do so could damage the car chassis and/or tow bar mounting points. For any Mazda B2500 vehicle, the nose weight is 125kg. Nose weight varies depending on the towbar you choose and are displayed under each tow bar below.

Towing Weight

Towing weight is the weight that a Mazda B2500 towbar can tow safely, without any risk of damaging the vehicle. Towing weights are bar specific and displayed below each towbar.

For the Mazda B2500 range, the towing weight capacity for the tow bars is between 3000kg depending on which towbar you chose.

You will need to check the towing limit for your B2500 vehicle model as it may not be able to tow up to the weight limit that the tow bar can tow.
