Perfect for light-duty towing, this custom, vehicle trailer hitch receiver features fully welded, gloss powder coated steel construction. Drawbar sold separately.Hitch seems good quality. I purchased for a bike rack with the occasional kayak trailer being used. Used the same set up on last car, 2001 Mustang. Directions stated 30 min for professional to install, and 60 for novice. Double those numbers. Difficult to do with the car on ramps, would have made life easier to have a lift and be under the car. Removing and re-installing the under body cladding and frame parts to get to the point of install is the time consuming aspect. Directions list needed tools, but check list against your car's actual bolts and nuts. Instructions stated a T55 bit, but bolts actually needed a 12 mm triple square bit. Look under your car and be sure before you start. Directions don't show the correct location to cut the heat shield. It shows a 4" oval away from where it needs to be cut. A 1 1/2 - 2" hole saw works. Hole just needs to be large enough to expose the hole in the frame that you will be inserting the bolts and washer into. When tightening the hitch bolts, pull the hitch frame farthest to rear of vehicle you can. The clearance is tight when re-stalling the frame reinforcements required on the cabriolet. and they touch the hitch if you don't pull the hitch that last mm you can to rear of car when tightening the bolts. The hitch bolts up to the car frame as expected, no surprises and fits beneath the bumper taking away some ground clearance and may drag going up a steep driveway. My A5 has sport suspension, so it's lower by @ 3/4 inch than standard A5 clearance. Happy with purchase, just be prepared for a little extra install time.
Solid receiver. Well made and precision. Installation instructions were very good, and tailored for the car. Definitely requires two people for part of the install (that's called out in the instructions), but true to form it was a bolt-on solution that almost looks factory. The only drilling was to open a hole in the heat shielding, which could be done with a light drill and some tin snips. Took about 2 hours. Great to be able to put the bike rack on the S5 Convertible and GO!
Worked perfectly fine. Towed a Uhaul trailer with my Audi A5 from Louisiana all the way up to Maryland. The installation took about 3 hours though. The way it attaches on an Audi was a little bit of a burden. I would say if you have at least a decent amount of mechanical experience wouldn’t be too hard but if you aren’t mechanically inclined at all, wouldn’t recommend trying to do it yourself.
Unfortunately, I ordered incorrect hitch and had to return item, however etrailer was tremendous throughout process and I ordered correct hitch. Thanks for being awesome!!
It fits perfectly to my audi a5 convertible 2010. The quality looks good, and installation is easy. I'll add my comments after I use the hitch a few weeks later.
built super sturdy. fits my car perfectly and wasnt to hard to put on. 2008 audi a5
