If you would like to upgrade this rack receiver for towing, you will need to purchase the Stealth Hitches towing kit (SH82VR - sold separately). The ball mount included in this kit inserts into the center block of the hitch in place of the receiver attachment. A 2" hitch ball is included with the ball mount, making it ready to tow with out of the box.
- Maximum gross trailer weight with towing kit: 6,000 lbs
- Not rated for weight distribution systems
If you want to take your bikes to the trail with your family this summer, you have plenty of options. You can carry your bikes on top of your car with a roof rack, but that bulky rack can increase drag on your ride. You can use a trunk rack, but that's a pain to mount and it can scratch your car's paint. Or you can install a hitch on your ride and use a hitch-mounted bike rack to carry your bikes.
This rack receiver is designed to act as a mounting point for your hitch bike rack or cargo carrier. Just slide the shank of your carrier into the receiver for use, and when you're done you can not only remove the carrier, but the receiver as well, leaving your vehicle looking clean and unmodified.
Completely Hidden Design
Nothing can ruin the clean, stylish look of your vehicle like a giant piece of metal bolted beneath its bumper. Luckily, with the Stealth Hitches rack receiver, you never have to worry about messing up your vehicle's lines.
This hitch installs behind your bumper, keeping the cross tube concealed and leaving only the hitch receiver visible. Even better, the receiver can be easily removed from the cross tube when it's not in use so that you won't see any trace of the hitch. This means that you can retain that clean, from-the-factory look for your ride, while still being able to carry your bikes and gear on the next family road trip.
Simple Set Up
The receiver can be attached or detached in seconds with no tools required. To insert the receiver, simply pop the base up into the stainless steel block at the center of the hitch until it automatically latches in place.
Be sure to then press the lock on the side of the block to fully secure the receiver. When you're finished carrying your bikes or cargo, use the included key to unlock the latch. Then turn the handle on the block clockwise and remove the receiver. You can stow the receiver in a safe place, like your vehicle's rear cargo area, or you can use a convenient carrying case (391CASER - sold separately).
And when you're not using the receiver attachment, the included hitch plug covers the center block's opening to protect the hitch's body from dirt and debris.

This completely hidden hitch keeps your vehicle looking like it just came off the assembly line. Remove the receiver for a fully concealed look when you're not carrying your bikes to the trail. Only for use with hitch-mounted racks and carriers.by: Joe 05/02/2024

The hitch was exactly what I wanted for my Audi Q3. Installation was easy and the step-by-step documentation with pictures was great. Only issue I had was that there was nowhere on the hitch frame to attach the cellular antenna so I had to drill my own hole, but otherwise it was a breeze. Installing/removing the hitch rack accessory is very easy and secures my bike rack with no wobble or leaning. Very satisfied with this product and expect it to last for years to come!
by: Scott 04/11/2024
Great product. Wish the hitch could fit under the bumper and not stick out
by: Graham 03/22/2024
Great product! Installation was as expected and the instructions were detailed.
by: Samantha06/13/2022
Excellent, sturdy product with understandable install instructions. You can't tell if the hitch is there by looking at the car until you need to put the bike rack on!
I removed 1 star mostly because of a shipping issue - the box was damaged during shipping and the ziploc that held all of the nuts and bolts was open, so most of that hardware was lost upon receipt. Luckily we had the packing list and were able to purchase at the local hardware store!
by: Bobby 03/21/2021
The instructions were good but it was hard taking rear end of car apart. The Hitch itself is awesome the way it works.
by: M04/11/2022
Installed and fit nicely on a 2022 Audi Q3 without any part modification. Installation required rear bumper removal and took several hours. There’s a few video tutorials online demonstrating the installation. It’s worth watching the tutorials a few times before committing.

Hitch works great. Carries our ebikes perfectly. The only drawback was that the installation was a bit expensive on an Audi Q3, but since then, it has served us well.
by: Luis 05/02/2020
Was pretty simple to assemble and the pictures in the instructions were very helpful. I really like the design as the hitch is only visible when in use. It was pretty tricky to put the bumper back on. Other than that it was smooth sailings.

extraordinary service and professionalism ... etrailer.com is a model for what web-based retailers should be like.

It looks great and disappears when I remove the connector. Haven't tried it with the bike yet.
by: Pamela 08/24/2021
I am so pleased with the hitch. I can’t tell that it’s there unless we are using it.

Excellent Product and is concealed very well.

view full answer... - Towing With A Stealth Hitch and 2021 Audi Q3Yes, it sounds odd doesn't it. But no worries, there is another option, let me explain. Stealth hitches such as the # 391AUDQ319 that you ask about are a bit different than a conventional hitch. The receiver that it comes with is designed only for carrying hitch mounted accessories like a bike rack. However, if you want to tow with your 2021 Audi Q3, you can use the # 391AUDQ319T instead. The part number ending in "T" for tow. This one has a specially designed ball mount and 2" hitch...

This hitch is confirmed to fit the S-Line models. It is custom fit and bolts directly to your Audi with included hardware.

view full answer... - Does Rear Diffuser of 2020 Audi Q3 Get Trimmed when Installing Stealth HitchI checked the instructions for the Stealth hitch part # 391AUDQ319 that fits your 2020 Audi Q3 and there is no trimming required of the rear fascia, heat shield, or bumper required. Basically nothing needs to get trimmed or modified to install the hitch.
view full answer... - Difference Between Stealth Hitches On A 2021 Audi Q3The difference between the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391AUDQ319 and the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391AUDQ319T, is that # 391AUDQ319 is not meant for towing, which is why only the tongue weight is displayed. To tow with it you'd need to install the tow kit # 391CONVC5. The Stealth Hitches # 391AUDQ319T comes with the kit needed for towing; Neither hitches are rated for a weight distribution system.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2021 Audi Q3For your 2021 Audi Q3 I recommend going with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391AUDQ319. This hitch is unique as the receiver portion can be completely removed when not in use to you won't even be able to tell a hitch is installed keeping a completely factory look to your Q3. The receiver included with the # 391AUDQ319 has a 600lb tongue weight rating and is designed to carry accessories such as a bike rack of cargo carrier.

view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for a 2021 Audi Q3 S-Line I have a great hitch for you but the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch item # DT68MR will not fit the 2021 Audi Q3 S-Line's regardless of whether or not they have the hands free lift gate feature. Instead you will want one of the Stealth Hitches and depending on what you are using the hitch for will determine which one you need. One is for only using accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers and the other can be used for accessories but also includes a ball mount and wiring kit for towing....
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit For 2020 Audi Q3 With Hands-Free LiftgateIt is correct that the only hitch that is available for a 2020 Audi Q3 with the hands-free liftgate are the Stealth Hitches. In regards to the Draw-Tite, it's not possible to say if your specific installation steps can work; it's simply never been tried because the sensors interfere with the install at the frame location. The only thing that I can tell you will work is the Stealth Hitches option, which you can get with just a rack receiver if you do not plan on towing, or a rack receiver...
view full answer... - Towing Capacity of Stealth Hitch for 2020 Audi Q3The Stealth hitch part # 391AUDQ319 for your 2020 Audi Q3 has a 6,000 lb towing capacity so it would easily be able to tow a 3-4,000 lb trailer like you mentioned. This comes with wiring and the ball mount as well.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2021 Audi Q3 With Hands-Free LiftgateYes, the only option for the 2021 Audi Q3 that still allows the hands-free tailgate to fully function as designed is the Stealth Hitches. There are two options, you can have just a rack receiver for accessories such as bike rack or carrier, Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391AUDQ319, if you do not plan on towing. Or, the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit, # 391AUDQ319T if you do plan on towing.

You'll notice that the holes for the safety chain loops are two different sizes based on the diameter of the two sets of included bolt diameters. I linked the install instructions for this for you to check out as well.

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Fitment on a 2023 Audi Q3So far, as of June 2023, the only trailer hitch options for your 2023 Audi Q3 come from Stealth Hitches. While these are the only options, I still really like them because you can remove the receiver or ball mount for a completely OEM look when you aren't using it. You'll need one of the following depending on what you plan on using the hitch for: - Recreational (bike racks and cargo carriers) Kit # 391AUDQ319 - Towing Kit # 391AUDQ319T Attached is a review video for you to check out...
view full answer... - Difference Between Stealth Hitches for a 2021 Audi Q3You are correct, there are two options for a Stealth Hitch on your 2021 Audi Q3. The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391AUDQ319 and the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # 391AUDQ319T. Essentially the difference is that the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391AUDQ319 is only rated for use with hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers.

view full answer... - Difference Between Stealth Hitches for 2020 Audi Q3I can understand why this is confusing! The Stealth hitches like the # 391AUDQ319 are a bit of a different animal than a conventional hitch, and the receiver that it comes with is designed only for carrying hitch mounted accessories like a bike rack. If you're going to want to tow with your 2020 Audi Q3, you'll instead want to use the # 391AUDQ319T which has a specially designed ball mount and 2" hitch ball that is designed for towing with the Stealth hitch. If you look at the notes for...
view full answer... - Can the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver for 2020 Audi Q3 Be Ordered Without WiringThe Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver part # 391AUDQ319 is a great option for a 2020 Audi Q3. If you need to obtain the ball mount without the extra wiring and what not that comes with the conversion kit we do sell that separately as part # 391BMU3S which will give you a ball height of 18". You can then add the Hitch Ball part # 63845.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Bike Rack that is Difficult to Install in Hitch OpeningSometimes the shanks of accessories like bike racks can develop some rust on them or the inner opening of the jack can as well. In this situation you'd want to inspect the hitch opening as well as the shank of the bike rack and clean off any rust or dirt that may have accumulated. It doesn't take much to make it tight enough that it's hard to fit anything into it.
view full answer... - Does Stealth Hitch for 2021 Audi Q3 Require Removing BeamYes, the Stealth hitch part # 391AUDQ319 that you referenced does replace the reinforcement beam of your 2021 Audi Q3 to install. Basically the hitch becomes the reinforcement beam but has a hitch opening attached to it. This is a pretty common way to install a hitch and it does not compromise the integrity of the vehicle. I have a hitch installed on my Tahoe that required this same step.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatible with 2020 Audi Q3Currently the only fit we have for your 2020 Audi Q3 is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 391AUDQ319 which is designed for a hidden crossbar and will work well for bike racks or other hitch mounted accessories. There is not a more standard style hitch from any of our manufacturers compatible with your vehicle at this time (8/2020).
view full answer... - Will Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver Interfere With Sensors On 2021 Audi Q3Currently the only trailer hitch receiver we offer that is confirmed to fit a 2021 Audi Q3 is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391AUDQ319. There will be no interference with sensors when installing the # 391AUDQ319 on your Q3. I included the instruction manual of the # 391AUDQ319 for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch and Electric Bike Rack for 2019 Audi Q3The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver part # 391AUDQ319 is my recommendation for a 2019 Audi Q3. It has a removable receiver tube for a completely hidden install while not in use and a 2" opening so there are plenty of bike racks to choose from. I recommend the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes part # TH903202 as the best electric bike rack option due to the integrated ramp for loading and wheels for help to and from the vehicle.
view full answer... - Is The Stealth Hitches Trailer Hitch Receiver Verified To Fit 2021 Audi Q3 S-Line For Carrying BikesYes, Stealth Hitches has verified their Hidden Rack Receiver # 391AUDQ319 will fit your 2021 Audi Q3 S-Line premium plus. As this has the 2" receiver you will be able to use it with your Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack # TH83JV. The only other part you might consider is the Carrying Case # 391CASER to store the removable receiver when not in use. Should you one day have the need to tow a trailer you can get the Towing Kit # SH82VR which will include the ball mount and wiring you will need.
view full answer... - Install Time for Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver on 2021 Audi Q3According to the manufacturer, the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 391AUDQ319 has an installation time of 2.5 hours for the rack only. If the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring for Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - 2" Ball # 391CONVC5 is also being installed, the manufacturer adds an additional 30 minutes to the installation time for a total of 3 hours. I have attached the installation instructions for your reference.

The hitch and the Kuat bike rack look great! I do want to let you know that the hitch manufacturer prefers that you use the hardware that comes with the hitch. If it absolutely has to be replaced quickly then it will need to be at least grade 8 rated hardware.
