Mazda CX-5: How much can it tow?

How much can a Mazda CX-5 tow & is it a good choice of SUV for pulling a boat?

Mazda's CX-5 soft-roader is a great around-town runabout but towing is not its forte. With a maximum tow rating of just 750kg unbraked and up to 1800kg with brakes you're going to have to have quite a small tinny to safely pull it reliably with a CX-5 Mazda. A BT-50 ute is an infinitely more appropriate choice for towing duties as even the big brother CX-9 SUV is only able to tow a small amount more than the CX-5.
