Bob Penkhus Mazda South - Mastering Trailer Hookups with the 2025 Mazda CX-70’s See-Through Trailer Hitch View near Falcon, CO
If you’ve ever inched back and forth, lining up a hitch by feel alone, you’ll immediately appreciate how the 2025 Mazda CX-70’s available 360° View Monitor with See-Through Trailer Hitch View removes the guesswork. Around Falcon, CO — where weekends can take you from gravel trailheads to family cabins — the ability to align confidently and get moving faster matters. With standard i-Activ AWD® and available Towing Mode as part of Mazda Intelligent Drive Select, the CX-70 is engineered to be an easygoing towing partner for small campers, utility trailers, and hobby haulers when properly equipped. The See-Through Trailer Hitch View adds a top-down perspective with guidelines on the center display, making it simpler to approach, align, and connect without repeated attempts or a second spotter. The result is less stress in tight spaces and more time where you want to be.
Beyond the hookup, thoughtful details continue to shine. The Inline 6 Turbo with 48V M Hybrid Boost delivers a refined initial surge that feels reassuring when pulling away, while Kinematic Posture Control helps the vehicle remain composed through sweeping curves that lead out to the plains. And with Alexa Built-In to handle quick voice commands, your focus can stay on the trailer and the road, not your screen. For many local drivers, the combination of tech confidence and chassis poise is the difference between towing only when necessary and taking on more adventures just because it’s easy.
- Clear alignment: The top-down camera view with guidelines helps you center the hitch precisely.
- Simplified solo hookups: Reduce dependence on a spotter in tight parking lots or unpaved areas.
- Confidence from the start: Visual confirmation minimizes false starts and awkward repositions.
- Smarter towing setup: Available Towing Mode helps optimize performance once you’re rolling.
It’s worth noting how seamlessly this system integrates into everyday driving. The 360° View Monitor does more than support towing; it enhances urban maneuvering and trailhead parking, too. When backing into a narrow space or navigating around a line of parked vehicles with bikes jutting into the lane, the added perspective can help you avoid unexpected surprises. Pair that awareness with the grip of i-Activ AWD® and the vehicle’s balanced dynamics, and the CX-70 feels purpose-built for Colorado’s mix of paved and unpaved driving. Inside, the large 12.3" display presents visuals with crisp clarity, and the interface makes it quick to toggle views — yet another reason the camera system is as useful at the home improvement store as it is at the campsite.
