Expert Answers about Audi Q3
- Towing With A Stealth Hitch and 2021 Audi Q3
- Yes, 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...

- Trailer hitch manufacturers like Draw-Tite part # 75218 for the 2018 Audi Q3 do make their hitches to be as strong as possible and to handle more weight then what the vehicle itself can handle. You will still need to follow the guidelines of the tongue weight of your Audi to avoid damage to the vehicle which is in place for any hitch, aftermarket or factory.
I was not able to pull up the owner's manual of the 2018 Audi Q3 but if your copy says 300 lbs I cannot recommend exceeding that...

- The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch item # DT68MR does fit your 2022 Audi Q3 but it is not compatible with the lift gate sensor. I can't speak specifically for your lights but on most of these types of hitches you just have to find the right spot the 2" receiver does not block. Depending on where your sensor is located and how much of the receiver blocks it you can typically kick to the left or right and find a sweet spot where the sensor still works.

- There unfortunately isn't a trailer hitch without a built in drop available for the 2015 Audi Q3 so you're only option for raising the height of the bike rack would be to use a hitch adapter like the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars # RM-048-4. This adapter would give you a 4" rise to provide more ground clearance for your bike rack.
Note: Hitch adapters do reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50%, so your Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13238 would have a maximum...

- 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....

- Your 2016 Audi Q2 has not been fitted with any bike racks from any of our manufacturers at this time. The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack for Vehicles w/ Spoilers - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # HRF2-3 is one of the most versatile trunk mounted racks and is made for vehicles with a top spoiler. I personally would go this route as I'm confident it will work well even though it has not been specifically confirmed to fit. I've attached a video of a similar fit to assist.

- So 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

- The Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C13238 is designed to fit the Q3 regardless of the model.
This is a Class lll hitch and has a 2 inch receiver opening. As noted from Curt all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty.
If you have the tow package on your Q3 and need trailer wiring you can use part # HM40975. Without the tow package I recommend...

- The XG-12 Pro Konig Tire Chains # TH01594247 you asked about for the 255/40R20 tires on your 2022 Audi Q3 require 12 mm of clearance so for your application I recommend going with the Easy-Fit for your tire size:

- It 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...

- All aftermarket hitches made for your 2016 Audi Q3 are shown on the linked page. These options include both 1-1/4-inch Class II and also 2-inch Class III type hitches. Since both install in the same manner I recommend one of the 2-inch models, either Curt # C13238 or Draw-Tite # 75218, since these will offer broader compatibility with the available bike racks and also a higher weight capacity.
Both of these 2-inch hitches will require some trimming of the rear fascia but neither required...

- I just spoke with my rep at Stealth Hitches and for your 2021 Audi Q3 S-Line you will want item # 391AUDQ319. This hitch is confirmed to fit the S-Line models.
It is custom fit and bolts directly to your Audi with included hardware. I really like this hitch because it attaches behind your rear bumper and has a completely removable receiver. When you are not using your bike rack you can unlock the 2" x 2" receiver and store it away.
This hitch does not have the ability to tow. If you...

- Yes. Both the Thule DockGlide Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - Saddle Style - Rear Loading - Universal Mount # TH896 and Thule DockGrip Kayak and SUP Carrier with Tie-Downs - Saddle Style - Rear Loading - Universal Mount # TH895 will fit on factory crossbars that are 3" wide x 1" tall.

view full answer... - Do I have To Cut The Fascia When Installing A Hitch On 2015 Audi Q3
- All of the hitches available for the 2015 Audi Q3 are concealed cross tube hitch designs so they all require fascia trimming. Both Class III hitches for your Audi Curt part # C13238 and Draw-Tite part # 75218 require a 3-1/2" square cut into the fascia so that the receiver portion of the hitch can stick through. I recommend the Draw-Tite part # 75218 because the installation instructions are better for this hitch.
The Class II hitch available for the Audi Curt part # C12148 requires a...

- The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75218 is a great option for a 2017 Audi Q3. I do see a few reviews of others using this hitch for bike racks without reporting issue of the safety chain loops interfering with the hitch pin. That said, it does look close so it could be possible therefore I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13238 instead.

view full answer... - Can Sun Roof of 2022 Audi Q3 Be Used With Roof Rack in Place
- The roof rack manufacturers all recommend that sun roofs be kept closed when a roof rack is in place.
This is done because the roof rack doesn't usually interfere, but because the carriers that install on a rack usually mount with their attachment hardware pointing downwards. This can damage sunroofs that open upward, and due to the hundreds of available roof rack mounted accessories, the roof rack manufacturers have no way of knowing whether a given accessory will interfere or not. Therefore,...
