This Stealth Hitches trailer hitch includes everything you need to hook up your trailer for towing. The ball mount pops into the hitch's center block so you can attach your trailer's coupler to the hitch ball. The wiring harness lets you power your trailer's lights. And the safety chain loops let you attach your trailer's safety chains. A receiver attachment is included as well for those times you need to use a bike rack or cargo carrier instead of towing your trailer. This all-in-1 solution saves you the headache of scrambling for missing parts, so you can get on the road faster than ever.


Completely Hidden Design

Nothing can ruin the clean, stylish look of your vehicle like a giant piece of metal bolted beneath the bumper. Luckily, with the Stealth Hitches trailer hitch receiver, you never have to worry about messing up your vehicle's lines.


hitch in use comparison

This hitch installs behind your bumper, keeping the cross tube concealed and leaving only the ball mount visible. Even better, the ball mount can be easily removed from the cross tube when it's not in use, so 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 tow your trailer on the next family road trip.


This hitch also comes with a removable 2" square receiver, which can be used to mount any variety of hitch accessories, like your bike rack or cargo carrier.


Simple Set Up

Both the ball mount attachment and receiver attachment can be installed and removed in seconds with no tools required. Simply pop the selected attachment's base up into the stainless steel block at the center of the hitch until it automatically latches in place.


center block locking

Be sure to then press the lock on the side of the block to fully secure the attachment. When you're finished hauling, use the included key to unlock the latch. Then turn the handle on the block clockwise and remove the attachment. You can stow the attachments in a safe place like your vehicle's rear cargo area, or you can use a convenient carrying case (391CASEC - sold separately).


hitch plug and center block

And when you're not using an attachment, the included hitch plug covers the center block's opening to protect the hitch's body from dirt and debris.


Wiring Installation

wiring

The included wiring splices into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located in your rear cargo area, on the driver's side. Once you've made all of the necessary connections, insert the provided fuse into the in-line fuse holder.


Once installation is complete, the 7-way connector will mount beneath your hitch. A mounting bracket is included to attach the connector to your hitch.


7 way connector on hitch

It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 7-way connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.

Great hitch! My wife loves the fact that it is hidden whenever the ball hitch is not connected. It wasn’t the easiest thing to wire on our 2017 Audi Q7 but otherwise not a bad installation. I like that it doesn’t rattle when in use and it isn’t difficult to install. I was a little hesitant the first time I used it to pull trailer with golf cart, wandering if it was fully engaged, but after a trial run I felt good about it. The first trip we took pulling the trailer was nearly 500 miles and have made the same trip two more times since. The hitch is a bit pricey but if you want it hidden whenever not in use this is the way to go. I hope eventually dealers will use or at least offer this or a similar type hitch.

The StealthHitch is excellent. If not for the wiring kit, if would have been installed in my Q7 in maybe an hour. The wiring kit was not good. The printed and downloadable PDF had completely inaccurate wiring instructions. I watched the video on eTrailer and the installer did everything almost 100% different than the printout down to the printout said “there is no brake light for this car it just uses it the two turn signals.” Completely wrong.

I still have to install a wired brake controller so we’ll see how my first tow goes in a few months.

In all photos the hitch is in even the photo where the bumper looks stock. It’s there.

The instructions are saying the vehicle does not have separate brake and turn signals as they are together.

Love this hidden hitch. Maintaining ground clearance was of paramount importance to me, and this unit fits the bill perfectly. I've pulled a 5600 lbs trailer with my 2019 Audi Q7 with zero concern for the safety of my payload. The ability to remove the ball when not in use is ideal for this weekend warrior.

If I could wish for one thing, it would be the ability to order with the high-rise ball mount by default, but now I've got two different ball mounts for different loads!

  • Installation Instruction Video for Stealth Hitches Wiring on a 2018 Audi Q7

  • Is Cutting Required to Install Trailer Hitch on 2020 Audi Q7
    Yes, all of the hitches we carry for your 2020 Audi Q7 require fascia trimming. The Curt, part # C13277 has the least amount of trimming. I've attached pictures that show how much trimming is needed for each hitch. Despite the Curt requiring less trimming I prefer the Stealth hitches for your Audi. The appearance after the hitch is installed is a lot nicer in my opinion. With the Curt you see the receiver opening all the time and you can even kind of see the area that was trimmed. With...

  • Towing Capacity of Stealth Hitch Kit that Fits 2017 Audi Q7
    The Stealth hitch kit part # 391AUDQ716T has a trailer towing capacity of 9,000 lbs so it would easily handle the 7,700 lb towing capacity of your 2017 Audi Q7. It also comes with a ball mount setup and trailer wiring so it takes care of everything you'd need to tow as well.

  • Towing Capacity Of Aftermarket Hitches Vs. OEM Towing Packages For A 2019 Audi Q7
    The capacity of a towing system is limited by it's lowest rated component. There are hitches in our lineup rated for more than the 6,000 lbs referenced, such as the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e88KR so as long as the 2019 Audi Q7 is capable of towing up to the hitch maximum of 7,000 lbs of Gross Trailer Weight on the etrailer hitch and the other components like the ball mount, ball, etc. are rated for the job, towing capacity shouldn't be reduced.

  • Compatibility of Curt Echo and 2-5/16 Inch Ball With Stealth Hitches Hidden Hitch on 2017 Audi Q7
    Yes, you can use a 2-5/16" ball like the # C40007 with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 391AUDQ716T. The only requirement for it to fit this ball mount is a 1" diameter shank. Regarding the Curt Echo # C51180, I do not think this will work. You are correct, the 7-way connection for the # 391AUDQ716T faces the ground. The Echo does have a strap to keep it secure, but assuming it didn't fall out you would have the brake controller hanging down along with the 7-way plugged...

  • Recommended Trailer Brake Controller For 2017 Audi Q7 With Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch
    For your 2017 Audi Q7 with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch # 391AUDQ716T installed I recommend the Redarc Tow Pro Elite # RED44FR as it is the lowest profile trailer brake controller so it will not be bulky and in the way, and often looks like a factory option. This controller is proportional meaning that it will match the braking intensity of the trailer brakes to the intensity you apply the brakes in your Q7 for a smooth, safe stop. You will also need # 5506 to run the blue...

  • Parts Needed to Add a 7-Way to a 2019 Audi Q7
    We do sell some wiring harness options for your 2019 Audi Q7 and we can get you to a 7-Way round style that works with your RV plug. To start off we have the # C59236 which splices into your OEM wiring or the ZCI Wiring # 119250KIT which clamps around your OEM wiring and senses when your light functions activate so you can avoid splicing into your OEM wiring. For a fully-functioning 7-Way you just need to add the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7. This pulls the basic lighting functions from...

  • Is Trimming Required to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2018 Audi Q7
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13277 is indeed correct for your 2018 Audi Q7. The Curt Hitch, etrailer hitch # e88KR, and both Stealth Hitches # 391AUDQ716T and # 391AUDQ716 are all fits for your 2018 Audi Q7 and they all require trimming. Unfortunately, we don't have a list of recommended installers for the products we offer outside of our location here in Missouri.

  • Is Fascia Trimming Required to Install Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2020 Audi Q7
    Because of its extremely hidden nature (the hitch essentially becomes invisible to the eye when it's not in use) the Stealth Hitch # 391AUDQ716T will indeed require some fascia trimming on your 2020 Audi Q7 during installation. This is to allow the drop-down receiver to protrude through the bumper when it's attached. The instructions that will come included do a really great job of outlining what needs to be cut. I have attached an image from this manual below so you can get a better...

  • Will Installing a Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring On a 2017 Audi Q7 Require Reprogramming Sensors?
    Installing a hitch and wiring on your 2017 Audi Q7 will not require any reprogramming for your rear sensors. These sensors are detecting objects and if they are moved slightly it will not cause any malfunctions. Your camera is in the rear hatch so it will not be removed during the installation I recommend installing the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # 391AUDQ716T on your Q7. This will allow you to remove the 2" receiver or ball mount when not needed maintaining...
