Draw-Tite Tested Tough

Draw-Tite Tested Tough

Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.



Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.


In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.

Hitch is an easy fit less than hour... in my model had to take other steps but easy enough.

The instruction said to cut 3.5×3.5 inches but 3.25×1.5 inches is enough (pic attached)... after the installation I think you can install the fascia without cutting using a professional lifting platform to rotate the fascia to accomadate the hitch through the opening

The hitch has been a pretty good upgrade, I use it every weekends to load my bikes and go MTB.

Very difficult to install, if someone does not have a lot of tools go to a professional. Don't try to do it yourself



by:
2018 Audi Q3

Installed the today. Had a little trouble getting the unit into the frame, had to bend the fascia that was in place but was able to push it in with a little persuasion. (removed the bottom fascia as instructed first). Also had trouble with the inner bolt placement, had to shake the unit a little back and forth to get the fourth bolt in. Suggest to leave the bolts and nuts loose to be able to move unit. Do not need to cut the fascia to put back on. I cut a 3 1/2 inch wide by 1 1/2 at first to slip the fascia on. After in place noticed I did not need to cut out that small piece. Unit in place, looks great after 2 hours of working it. Glad that there was a unit for my Audi. Wife is happy now that we can slide in the bike rack.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2013 Audi Q3
    I spoke with my contact at Draw-Tite and was able to confirm that the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75218 will fit your 2013 Audi Q3. This is custom-fit for your vehicle and will use existing holes in the Q3 frame for a no-drill installation. Just note that the bumper beam will need to be permanently removed in order to mount the trailer hitch. This Class III hitch will give you a 2 inch receiver opening for use with ball mounts and trailer hitch accessories. I have attached...

  • Trailer Hitch for Mobility Wheelchair and Carrier on a 2016 Audi Q3
    Trailer hitches and vehicles have their own tongue weight and gross trailer weight capacities. As such you must go by whichever is lower. Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75218 is rated for 450 pounds tongue weight so a combined weight of 350 pounds is no problem for the hitch. It looks like the tongue weight capacity of your 2016 Audi Q3 is 400 to 440 pounds. Consult the vehicle owner's manual to confirm. If the vehicle tongue weight capacity is lower than the hitch then you go by the vehicle...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Audi Q3
    Yes, the Draw Tite hitch part # 75218 is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Audi Q3 and would be a great option. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to...

  • Will the Draw-Tite Hitch for 2017 Audi Q3 Work With Threaded Hitch Bolt.
    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.

  • 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...

  • Draw-Tite Hitch Installation on 2016 Audi Q3
    The written instructions for the Draw-Tite hitch # 75218, which are linked for you, note that the rear bumper fascia has a total of 10 fasteners that need to be removed. Four of these are screws at the bottom of the fascia and the others are at the two wheel wells. Have you removed all of these fasteners? If not re-check the wheel wells and bottom of the panel to make certain all fasteners have been found and removed. Once the fascia is off, you will use a 13mm socket to remove the 6 screws...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Towing Setup for 2018 Audi Q3
    We don't have a video of the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75218 on your 2018 Audi Q3. The biggest thing to note is the installation requires the permanent removal of the bumper beam and the hitch will replace that bumper beam for support and safety. It will require trimming your lower fascia. I've attached a photo and the installation details to assist. If you don't wish to replace your bumper beam, then I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class...

    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...

  • How To Carry Motorcycle With 2018 Audi Q3
    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...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Audi Q3
    For your 2016 Audi Q3 the best hitch we offer for towing a small trailer is the Draw Tite part # 75218 which is a confirmed fit 2 inch hitch.

  • Comparing Ground Clearance Between Draw-Tite 75218 and Curt C13238 On 2015 Audi Q3
    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...

  • Trailer Hitch for Use with a Bike Carrier for a 2015 Audi Q3
    Most spoilers at the tops of SUVs and CUVs are not rated to support any weight or tension. But, Curt is the only manufacturer that would require that strap. Draw-Tite hitch # 75218 does not have that requirement so I would go with it and not worry about the strap on your 2015 Audi Q3. I have included a link to all of the bike carriers we have that fit 2 inch trailer hitch receivers. The most popular option is the Hitching Post Pro, # TH934XTR. I have included a link to a video review for you.

  • Trailer Hitch to Carry a Motorcyle Carrier with Total Tongue Weight of 450 lbs for a 2015 Audi Q3
    The Draw-Tite Max Frame Trailer Hitch, # 75218, is the confirmed fit hitch for your 2015 Audi Q3. The hitch does have a tongue weight rating of 450 lbs and you will not need to use a stabilization strap on the Draw-Tite product. The only permanent modification you will do to your Audi Q3 is when installing the hitch you will need to trim 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 inch hole in the bumper fascia so the receiver tube will be accessible. I check the owner's manual for the 2015 Q3 and it states that your...
