  • How Far Out Does the Curt Trailer Hitch C11448 Extend From the Bumper on a 2019 Audi A5
  • I wish we had the chance to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11448 on a 2019 Audi A5 that way I could give you this exact measurement but sadly, that is not the case nor does the manufacturer provide this. That said, I have a really good photo for you which is attached that shows how the receiver tube aligns with the rear bumper. As you can see, the receiver tube actually sits about a few inches in from the edge of the bumper which makes for the best look and is what most...

  • Recommended Stealth Hitch for a 2014 Audi Q5
  • To purchase a Stealth Hitch without the wiring, for your 2014 Audi Q5, you will want the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver item # 391AUDQ509. The ball mount is available for purchase separately item # 391BMU5S but not the bracket that holds onto the wiring harness. You will also need the 2" Hitch Ball item # 63845. Stealth Hitch makes it difficult and not cost effective to piece it out. There's no kits other than the entire Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring item # 391CONVR5.

  • Trailer Hitch Extension for 2 Inch Hitch on 2019 Audi Q8
  • I can certainly understand wanting to keep the wheels of your 2019 Audi Q8 out of the saltwater, and while there are hitch extenders that will add distance, there isn't a 36 inch extender that will work. The longest hitch extender is 18 inches, and there are a couple available that will work with a 2 inch hitch: the Curt Extender # C45796 and Brophy Hitch Extender # HE18. To secure any of these extenders to your hitch you will also need the Pin and Clip # PC3 if you do not have one already.

  • Towing Capacity of Stealth Hitch Kit that Fits 2017 Audi Q7

  • Ground Clearance with Stealth Hitch on 2019 Audi A4 Allroad
  • Basically you'd lose right at 2 inches of ground clearance at the center of the rear bumper of your 2019 Audi A4 Allroad when the lower ball mount portion of the Stealth hitch part # 391AUDA417T. I can't get you an exact figure since we haven't had chance to install this but if you check out the picture I attached you can see what I mean. Also, when the ball mount is removed you'd have no loss of ground clearance at all.

  • What Is The Length Of Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars?
  • On aero crossbars, like the Thule Wingbar, there is typically a T-slot channel which does not extend to the very end of the bar since there is usually an endcap, so the usable length would be slightly less than the entire crossbar. That being said, if they are advertised as 50" crossbars, then the entire length will be 50". The Thule Square Bars 50" Long # TH712300 that you referenced measure 50" end to end. Since you mentioned the Thule WingBar, here is the complete kit compatible with...

  • Can the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver for 2020 Audi Q3 Be Ordered Without Wiring
  • The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver part # 391AUDQ319 is a great option for a 2020 Audi Q3.

You can then add the Hitch Ball part # 63845.

  • Winch Strap for Robalo 225 Boat with Dry Weight 5000 lbs
  • The Fulton strap part # FWS20HD0200 that you referenced would work great for what you mentioned. This is 20 feet long and has a 4,000 lb capacity. With winches and straps you'd generally only need the capacity to be 50 percent of the total weight of the boat so a 4,000 lb weight rated strap would easily have enough capacity for a 5,000 lb boat

  • What are the Dimensions of # 12-2-1 Jacketed Brake Wire
  • I went to our warehouse and pulled some of this Jacketed 2 Wire, part # 12-2-1, to measure for you with a pair of digital calipers. The width of the 2 wires with the jacket measures .364 inches. It measures .209 inches thick. Each individual wire when removed from the jacket measure .122 inches thick. I have also attached links to some of the connectors that can be used with this wire. For wiring brakes on a trailer, I would not recommend using 12GA wire. Instead I would recommend 10GA...

  • Hitch For 2009 AUdi A4 with Best Ground Clearance Backing Out of Driveway
  • The hitch opening of the EcoHitch part # 306-X7389 that you referenced is going to fit right under the rear bumper of your 2009 Audi A4 so the amount of ground clearance you'll lose will be right at 2-1/2 inches down the center of the vehicle. The big advantage this hitch has for your situation is that only the hitch opening hangs below the bumper which helps when backing and turning out of a driveway. Normally if a hitch is going to drag in this situation it will be on the side since one...

  • Distance Between Thule Roof Rack Crossbars And Roof On 2014 Audi Q7
  • The distance between the crossbars on your 2014 Audi Q7 may vary depending on the type roof rack you install and the height of the side rails on your vehicle. I spoke with my contact at Thule and they told me that the height of the # TH460R that is included in the system you referenced is 1-1/2 to 2 inches. This would not include the height of the crossbars that fit the feet. We have another roof rack option for you. It is the Thule WingBar Roof Rack. The height of this foot pack is about...

  • Can 1-1/4 Inch to 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Adapter be Used on 2002 Audi Allroad Quattro to Carry Bikes
  • I strongly recommend not using an adapter but instead using a bike rack compatible with your hitch. It is recommended to only carry 2 bikes on a Class I hitch. I would suggest a rack like the Curt # C18085. It weighs 46 pounds, holds two bikes, and has a capacity of 90 pounds so you will be able to safely carry your bikes without exceeding the trailer hitch tongue weight capacity. The tongue weight capacity on the trailer hitch for your 2002 Audi Allroad Quattro will be reduced by 50...

  • What is the Ground Clearance with Curt Trailer Hitch, # 11765 Installed on a 2004 Audi TT Quattro
  • I spoke with my contact at Curt about trailer hitch # 11765. He stated that when the hitch is installed the receiver tube, which will be the lowest point, will be about 1-3/4 inches to 2 inches below the bottom of the rear fascia. What you can do is park your 2004 Audi TT on level ground and measure up from the ground to a point that is about 2 inches below the rear fascia and that is where the bottom of the receiver will be. I have included a link to the installation details for this hitch...

  • Recommended Air Conditioner to Upgrade to 13,500 Btu
  • The best option to upgrade to a 15,000 Btu air conditioner (we do not offer any 14,000 Btu ACs) is by going with a Furrion Chill: - Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System - Manual - 15,000 Btu - White # FR92PR The Furrion Chill # FR92PR is rare in that it is compatible with either ducted or ductless systems so it will work for you no matter if you have ducts or not. You mentioned amps, and the Chill draws 15.8 amps while it is running; it will fit roofs 3-1/2 to 6 inches thick.

  • How to Add a 7-Way Connector and Brake Controller to a 2015 Audi Q7
  • It sounds like your 2015 Audi Q7 does not have the factory tow package. To add a 7-way to your Audi you will need two separate wiring harnesses. The first one is the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit item # 119250KIT. This wiring harness does not require any cutting or splicing. It will provide you with a 4-flat connector to control the lighting functions on your trailer. I have linked an installation video below....

  • Hitch Tube Depth of Stealth Hitch that Fits 2019 Audi E-Tron
  • The overall depth of the hitch attachment of the Stealth hitch part # SH34FR is 5-1/2 inches from front to back and then 3-1/2 inches from the pin hole to the very back of the hitch tube. Based on that we know the Kuat NV2.0 Base # BA22B and the NV 2.0 # NV22G are a confirmed fit and would work great. To upgrade it to a kit that has the ball mount platform you'd need the part # SH39FR as well.
