There are only 2 trunk mounted bike racks that are confirmed fits on your 2019 Audi A6 since there is not an aftermarket hitch option that would allow you to carry a hitch mounted bike rack. The best option would be the Malone Hanger Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms # MPG2139, which has adjustable arms to allow you to carry the bikes level and can hold up to 3 bikes. I really like that this comes with an integrated cable lock to keep the bikes secured to the rack.

On the surface, there is a lot of similarities between the Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller # C51170 and the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR, but the Redarc is truly the superior option in every way for your 2019 Audi Q5.
Since you don't have trailer wiring in your Audi you will need to add ZCI Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT and Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7, though the Spectrum also needs the Wiring Adapter for Curt Trailer... view full answer...
You are on the money that the least visible hitch for your 2018 Audi Q5 is absolutely the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391AUDQ518.
The reason for that is this is the only hitch available for your vehicle in which the receiver portion is removable, so it will be like there isn't a hitch on your Audi at all. The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7397 has a hidden crosstube, but the receiver portion will always show. But with the Stealth Hitches option, when you're done... view full answer...
Yes it does; I verified for you the etrailer hitch does indeed fit your 2023 Audi Q5 (both the non-hybrid and plug-in hybrid), with the correct part number being the following:

The Thule Vector M, part # TH613201, and the Vector Alpine, part # TH613500, are both great cargo boxes for your 2019 Audi Q7. They have the same crossbar spread requirements and have the same amount of cubic feet inside.
The main difference is the inner and outer dimensions. The Vector M measures: 83-1/2" long x 34-1/2" wide x 14" tall outside and 73-1/8" long x 25" wide x 11-9/16" tall inside. The Vector Alpine measures: 91" long x 35" wide x 12-1/2" tall outside and 80-1/2" long x 25-1/8"... view full answer...
Both the Curt Spectrum # C51170 and the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR are excellent brake controller options for your 2016 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...
I can see why this might be confusing. The Curt # C59236 is a complete wiring kit that comes with the wire to run from the converter module to the battery, where if you went with the Curt # C56190 you would also need the Powered Converter Wiring Kit # 55151 for the wiring and fuse to run to the battery. The Curt # C59236 also has a slightly higher amp rating for the tail lights/turn signals, so I recommend going with that-it's also a complete kit so there's no need to worry about adding... view full answer...
Both the Thule OutWay 3 # TH56BV and the Gateway 3 # TH78VR are confirmed fits for your 2010 Audi A4 Sedan and both share many of the key features that distinguish Thule carriers, such as the patented FitDial system, integrated locks for the bikes, dual folding arms, anti-sway bike mounts and a limited lifetime warranty.
Where they differ, and where the OutWay 3 takes the lead, is in terms of the speed and convenience of mounting on your A4. The OutWay 3 uses only two coated steel cables... view full answer...
The Curt # C13277 and the etrailer hitch part # e88KR are both very similar as they are made by the same company with big difference being that the etrailer hitch has a matte finish and the Curt has a gloss finish. The Draw Tite # 76076 is a similar design by a different company. It has a slightly higher towing capacity at 7,700 lbs compared to 7,000 lb which is it's biggest advantage. The others are rated at 7,000 lbs.
We do find typically that the consistency and quality control is best... view full answer...
We have not had a chance to install the Draw-Tite # 75218 on a 2015 Audi Q3 yet so I do not have the exact ground clearance measurements, but based on the two manufacturer provided installed photos I believe you are correct that it will give more ground clearance than the Curt # C13238.
If you are planning on towing with your Q3 you will also need a vehicle wiring harness # 119250KIT, and a hitch ball, ball mount, and hitch pin and clip which can all be found in the etrailer Ball Mount... 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...
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...
The difference between the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit - Custom Fit - 2" # 391AUDQ518T and the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 391AUDQ518 are few.
They are the same hitch receiver. One comes with accessories like a ball mount and ball for towing trailers.
If you are going to be towing a trailer you will need the # 391AUDQ518T.
If you are going to be using hitch accessories you will want the # 391AUDQ518. view full answer...
You 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. If you wanted to tow a trailer or anything else you would have to add the Towing Kit w/ Ball... view full answer...
I 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.

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...
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...
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...
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...
It doesn't look like we have had a chance yet to install the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e94CR on a 2020 Audi Q5 yet so I don't have any specific measurements for you. That said, based on the install photos we have of this and the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7397, I can confidently say that the etrailer hitch sticks out further than the EcoHitch. The greater extension means better compatibility with folding accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers... view full answer...
