Mazda CX-9 TB

2007–2015 · TB · suv

First-generation CX-9. Mazda's three-row family crossover. Built on the Ford CD3 platform shared with the Ford Edge / Lincoln MKX. Engines: Ford Duratec 3.5L V6 (2007), Ford Duratec 3.7L V6 (2008-2015, 273hp). 6-speed automatic. FWD or AWD. Three rows, seven passengers. Mid-cycle facelifts in 2010 and 2013. The pre-Skyactiv-everything era of Mazda, closer to a rebadged Ford than the Skyactiv-era Mazdas that followed.

Watch out: Two well-known patterns. (1) The water pump on the Ford 3.5/3.7 V6 is internal to the timing-cover, failure leaks coolant into the engine and the repair is labor-intensive ($1,500+). Replace proactively at 90-100k miles regardless of whether it's failing. (2) Transfer case on AWD models. TOD (Transfer-on-Demand) unit has documented wear; flush the fluid at 60k intervals.
