The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE would be a good choice. The only difference between the # HLY74FR and # HLY84FR bike racks is the hitch receiver size the rack is compatible with. The # HLY74FR will work with 1-1/4 or 2 inch hitches, while the # HLY84FR is only compatible with 2 inch hitches only. Either rack would work great for you, but the # HLY74FR would offer you some flexibility of you'll be using the rack on more than one vehicle.

Curt # C11399 trailer hitch for the 2016 Audi A3 is a great choice. It is a class I hitch which has a 1-1/4" receiver. It is a confirmed fit for your Audi A3.
The Curt hitch also requires the use of stabilization strap # 18050 if using the hitch with anything other than a trailer such as a bike rack or cargo carrier per Curt's warranty requirements. view full answer...
Camco Power Defender voltage protectors, parts # CAM55301 and # CAM55306, have a bit more protection than the circuit analyzers, parts # CAM55310, # CAM55312, and # CAM55313.
Both the analyzers and protectors have diagnostic lights for faults but beyond that the analyzers are just surge protectors. The voltage protectors go a little further by detecting the voltage and shutting off if the voltage level falls below 102V or goes over 132V. The voltage protectors also reset themselves... view full answer...
The 2 different Curt trailer hitches fit 2 different models of the 2016 Audi A5. For a model that has the dual muffler design I recommend trailer hitch # C11188. And for models with the single muffler design I recommend trailer hitch # C11037.
Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier) per their warranty requirements. view full answer...
The size and weight of 4 bikes is normally quite a lot to deal...especially if you want the convenience of a platform rack. The Saris Freedom part # SA4414B however is a great compromise as it is relatively lower weight and not nearly as large. It's only about 10 lbs heavier than the Thule Apex part # TH9025XT and since you want solid support and ease of use overall the Saris is the way to go. view full answer...
Yes, we have two hitches for your Audi S5. Both options are Stealth Hitches that conceal nicely behind the bumper of your car when not in use.
The first one is Item # 391AUDA4A5S509 this hitch has a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight and would be used for bike carriers and cargo carriers but not for towing purposes.
The second option is item # 391AUDA4A5S52T this hitch has a higher capacity and can haul up to 3,500 lbs behind it as well as be used for bike and cargo carriers. It also comes... view full answer...
Both the Curt Spectrum # C51170 and the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR are excellent brake controller options for your 2019 Audi Q5 but in comparison I recommend going with the Tow-Pro Elite over the Spectrum.
Although both controllers can be used as proportional brake controllers (they activate your trailer brakes at the same time and with the same intensity as the brakes on your Q5) the Tow-Pro Elite can also be switched to "User Control" mode which means your trailer brakes will activate... view full answer...
You're correct the J-Pro2, part # MPG117MD, is a newer model of the J-Pro. The difference between the two is the J-Pro2 has more padding to protect the kayaks. Other than that and the color they're basically the same.
The DownLoader, part # MPG114MD, has the ramps and is compatible with the Telos XL, part # MPG351XL, which is the additional load assist available from Malone. The upright arms can be folded down when you're not using the carrier for better roof clearance in case you park... view full answer...
The Saris Bones bike racks, like part # SA805BL, are confirmed to fit your 2015 Audi A3 and are decent bike racks if you are looking for something affordable. If you are wanting a really good bike rack for expensive bikes then I recommend installing a trailer hitch on your newer 2015 Audi A3 and using a hitch mount bike rack to avoid bike rack to vehicle contact, plus most of the hitch mount bike racks have more to offer.
If you were to go with the Saris Bones then you would likely need... view full answer...

For your 2016 Audi A3 the correct part number for the Curt hitch is part # C11399. Curt recommends using the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap part # 18050 to reduce chucking and jarring for all non-towing applications. The support strap must be used to abide by their warranty. The Curt hitch is made in the U.S.A. This is a great option for you.
If you can tell me what you will be using the hitch for, I would be glad to offer some additional recommendations for you but in the meantime,... view full answer...
The Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack part # TH23JV and the Swagman Semi 2.0 # S64686 are very similar. Both only contact the bikes loaded on them by the wheel and both are platform racks. The biggest difference is that the Semi is a little bit lighter in weight and comes with the ability to be used in either a 1-1/4 inch or 2 inch hitch.
Either would work well but I would recommend the Swagman as it is lighter, works on both hitch sizes, comes with hitch locks, and costs less.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11448 and the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # DT24950 are rated for the same capacities and attach in the same locations. I recommend the Draw-Tite above the Curt for this vehicle because the Curt class I hitches require a stabilization strap # 18050 for any bike carrier, cargo carrier, or other accessory under their warranty.
If you will be towing, I also recommend wiring... view full answer...
I would be happy to make a recommendation for a trailer hitch for your 2021 Audi Q5.
Between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13331 and Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76183 I recommend the Curt # C13331 due to it allowing the rear bumper beam structure to be reinstalled for extra strength in the rear of the vehicle, and requiring less modifying to the rear bumper fascia.
Draw-Tite has mentioned that in their testing that with their hitch installed the bumper beam structure... view full answer...
The Curt # C13136 and the Draw-Tite # 75940 2-inch Class III hitches share identical weight capacities but their designs differ and this will affect the complexity of the installation process. The Draw-Tite hitch installs in place of the aluminum bumper and this hitch requires a more involved installation than the Curt. I linked the instructions and an install video for both hitches to help you decide with which one you feel more comfortable. If it were me, I would go with the Curt in this... view full answer...
I recommend the Curt # C11399 trailer hitch for your 2019 Audi A3 (non e-tron). This is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. You will also need a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 for all non-trailer accessories. The stabilizing strap is required by Curt and will help keep your bike rack from moving around too much during travel. I have attached the installation instructions for you to check out.
Since this is a Class I trailer hitch, you are limited to carrying 2 bikes. If you... view full answer...
We do have many people asking about the stabilizing strap for the Curt hitches requirement. The Curt hitch, part # C13136 is solidly built and has the same capacity as the Draw-Tite Hitch, part # 75940. Curt issues the statement about a strap like part # 18050 as a precaution and to help relieve some of the stress on the back of a vehicle when using any non-towing accessory.
My choice is the Draw-Tite, part # 75940 which has the same capacity as the Curt hitch but has no strap requirement... view full answer...
I would be happy to compare the Curt Spectrum # C51170 with part # C51515 and Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR brake controllers as well as make a recommendation for your 2019 Audi Q5.
To establish a starting point, both controllers are unique when compared to standard brake controllers because they can be mounted virtually anywhere. This is due to the box that the control knob connects to which can sense the direction of movement without having to be in a specific orientation.

Between the Curt # C13136 and Draw-Tite # 75940 trailer hitch receivers for the 2014 Audi Q5 the Draw-Tite has more ground clearance.
The Draw-Tite installs into the bumper behind a removable piece of fascia that is on the Q5. If this piece of fascia is not on your model then the fascia will need to be cut. The Curt, on the other hand, installs underneath the bumper. So the entire cross beam of the hitch receiver is visible. On the Draw-Tite all you see if the receiver opening and... view full answer...
