1995 Mazda MPV towing capacity
The 1995 Mazda MPV is published in 3 configurations, with tow ratings ranging from 2,600 to 4,300 lb depending on cab, bed, drivetrain, and hitch class. The peak figure (4,300 lb) sits in compact SUV / minivan territory.
The table below lists every trim of the 1995 Mazda MPV with the engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, horsepower, torque, GVWR, curb weight, and payload that go with that trim's headline tow rating. Manufacturers often publish more than one tow figure per truck — a conventional bumper-hitch rating, a weight-distributing rating, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating — so the highest number here is the maximum across all hitch classes the source carries for the trim.

How to interpret the headline tow figure
Tow ratings at this level are normally achievable with a conventional Class II or Class III receiver hitch. Always verify your vehicle has the manufacturer's tow package installed if you intend to tow at the upper end of the rating, and inspect the door-jamb sticker for the actual maximum permitted on your specific configuration.
How this year compares to 1994
The 1994 Mazda MPV carried a maximum tow rating of 4,500 lb. The 1995 model is rated 200 lb lower — sometimes a real spec change, sometimes a re-test under a stricter standard like SAE J2807. See the 1994 Mazda MPV page for the full per-trim breakdown of the prior year.
