I bought a curt hitch, but the video for the stealth hitch was amazingly helpful - how to take apart the car, find wires... I had to figure out how to cut the facia myself, but when I was done, I saw that there was a picture your site. Doh. From turning my first screw, watching videos, more watching videos, tracing wires, reading directions, watching video again, looking at wiring diagram AGAIN... maybe with a few interruptions... this was about a 6 hour job for me.

If I had a second one to do - same exact car, I think I could knock it out in about 2 hours.

Ready to go to the lake!

I liked this hitch because it required very little body panel cutting and removal. But I would choose a different hitch if I were doing it again. This hitch hangs below the Q7s skid plate and it scrapes on curbs and boat ramps. In hind-sight, I would recommend a hitch with less that does not hang below the skid plate.

Super easy to install. Make sure you have an extension for your 18mm socket. I thought I could get away without using one, although I did buy one before I started. You can remove the aluminum impact absorber without the extension, but as soon as you install the hitch, it will block your access around the edge.

You have to remove bumper to install and we had to cut a hole in bumper for hitch. Perfect fit

The box arrived with several large holes and the hitch actually sticking out of the box.

I don't know what was shipped with the hitch I am taking it to my mechanic to have it installed on the car but I'm uncertain at this time how to rate it

I tried to include photographs of the box but they would not upload

Great hitch, looks good and easy to ins tall.

We purchased this trailer hitch to be able to attach 4 bikes to our SUV. With that in mind, have not had to test it's weight capacity, but I can say it fit well (required small bumper modification, but not visible), and has done a solid job.



by:

Very happy with the quality of the hitch and design. I am also happy that etrailer priced matched a competitor and refunded me the difference. My only issue was the packaging. The box was beat up and the part of the hitch went through. There were scratches on the frame and even the receiver which was taped up had scratches on it as well. I know that it will end up getting nicked eventually but I wished that it came without any damage. Overall a great product and good customer service.

Great product, fast shipping, and the online instructions made an intimidating job relatively easy. Took about 2 hours for a couple of beginners and happy with the finished product.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2022 Audi Q7
    I would be happy to! To add a hitch to your 2022 Audi Q7, I recommend the etrailer item # e88KR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Audi with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 7,000 lbs towing capacity and a 700 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like the etrailer Hitch item # e88KR because the entire crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper. This leaves only the 2" receiver exposed which not only looks better but helps with ground clearance. If...

  • Hitch Pin Hole Depth of Curt Hitch for 2019 Audi Q7
    In regards to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13277 for a 2019 Audi Q7, the distance from the collar to the center of the hitch pin is 2.14" and the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of the receiver is 4.48" per Curt. Therefore, you will have no issue with the Thule Apex Swing XT Bike Rack for 4 Bikes part # TH9027XT. Unfortunately, we don't have the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outer edge of the bumper but based on customer install...

  • Will Trailer Hitch Receiver Installation on 2022 Audi Q7 Require Cutting or Trimming
    In order to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13277 some trimming of the fascia will be required. This will be a 3.5" x 7.25" area as outlined in the instructions. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver and a concealed cross tube. It features a gloss black powder coat finish and a bolt-on installation. This hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight of 7,000 lbs and tongue weight of 700 lbs. If you plan on towing, I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness...

  • Hitch Receiver and Towing Set Up for 2020 Audi Q7
    I have a solution for your 2020 Audi Q7 but you are going to have to do some cutting of a lower trim fascia. I recommend the etrailer 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e88KR. This hitch receiver is custom fit to your vehicle and requires no welding or drilling into your frame. I have linked the installation instructions to show you the 7.25 inch by 3.5 inch section that will have to be cut out of the lower panel below your rear bumper trim. For your trailer light control, I recommend the...

  • Is There Cutting Required for Installing a Hitch on My 2021 Audi Q7?
    Yes, there is some trimming that is required to install both the etrailer Hitch # e88KR and the Curt Hitch # C13277 to your 2021 Audi Q7. Unfortunately, we do not have any hitch receivers that do not require trimming on your vehicle. If you need tools to help you with trim removal/cutting, I recommend the Composite Trim Removal Tool Kit - 5 Piece # PT73HJ.

  • Recommended Hitch With Best Ground Clearance For A 2022 Audi Q7
    The hitch I recommend for your 2022 Audi Q7 is the Curt # C13277. This American made hitch will be a pretty involved install, but once finished will have a clean, stock look as only the receiver tube will be able to be seen. So no ugly cross tube. This will also be great for carrying a cargo carrier, like the Curt # C18150, as it is rated up to 7,000 pounds towing and 700 pounds of tongue weight capacity (which is the one you will need to keep an eye on for a cargo carrier), but you will...

  • Are Modifications Required to Install The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13277 on a 2022 Audi Q7?
    While there are no major modifications or drilling required you will need to trim a small portion of the rear bumper fascia on your 2022 Audi Q7, for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13277 to fit. I have a included an image that shows where the fascia is trimmed. The receiver will mount between the frame and the bumper beam on your Audi. The Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59236 will allow for you to add a 4-way flat trailer connector to your Audi.

  • Difference Between Curt, etrailer, and Draw Tite Hitch for 2018 Audi Q7
    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...

  • Best Ground Clearance Hitch for 2022 Audi Q7
    I suggest the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C13277 due to the way it mounts. You will need to trim the fascia to install this or any other model hitch on the Audi Q7. But this has best clearance and build quality. Please note the linked instructions and the attached image showing the hitch installed. This has a minimal section that hangs down providing hindered ground clearance. If you will be towing, I suggest the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 119250KIT. Along with...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Audi Q7
    I would be happy to and congrats on the new vehicle! To add a hitch to your 2024 Audi Q7, I recommend the etrailer item # e88KR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Audi with included hardware. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver so it will give you the most capacity for your cargo carrier. It also offers a 7,000 lbs towing capacity. I really like the etrailer hitch item # e88KR because of the way it mounts on your Audi. The entire crosstube is concealed behind the rear...

  • 2 inch Trailer hitch Recommendation for 2018 Audi Q7
    We have a 2 inch hitch that is a fit for your 2018 Audi Q7. For that you'd want the Curt hitch part # C13277 which will fit and work well. It has a 7,000 lb towing capacity. For trailer wiring then you'd want the ZCI # 119250KIT which will give you a 4-way. 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...

  • Curt vs. etrailer Trailer Hitch For 2024 Audi Q7
    Just a single difference exists between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches for your 2024 Audi Q7, which is the finish. The etrailer hitch has a matte black finish, while the Curt hitch has a glossy black finish, so you can choose which you prefer. The hitches that fit your '24 Q7 are the following part numbers: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13277 - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e88KR The matte black finish does hide those inevitable small scuffs a bit better than the glossy...

  • Does ZCI Wiring Harness Work on 2022 Audi Q7 Mild Hybrid 48 Volt
    The simple answer to your question is yes, your 2022 Audi Q7 with the mild hybrid 48 volt battery can still use the ZCI kit: - ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT I believe our installer says to have a professional install the # 119250KIT on a Q7 with the 48 volt system because these vehicles have both a 48 volt battery and 12 volt battery, and you don't want to get them confused. The standard 12 volt battery is...

  • Recommended Hitch and Ball Mount for a 2017 Audi Q7
    Thanks for the picture! The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13277 you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2017 Audi Q7. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Audi with included hardware. To be level you will typically want your ball mount to be within 3" of the height of your trailer's coupler. The receiver on your Audi will be right at 12" above the ground so you will want to use the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches item # C45338. This ball mount will give you 7" of rise. You will also...

  • Recommended Hitch for 2022 Audi Q7 For Bike Rack and Ski Rack
    The Curt trailer hitch receiver is a great choice for a bike rack or ski rack on your 2022 Audi Q7. This features a bolt-on installation, limited lifetime warranty, and a 700 lb max tongue weight to handle your equipment. This will work well with the # TH934XTR and # TH9033 you were looking at.

  • Why Cant 2019 Audi Q7 Use Weight Distribution System
    The reason a 2019 Audi Q7 cannot use a weight distribution system is because the hitch that fits, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13277, is not rated for use with a weight distribution system; I can only render a guess but it is likely the OEM hitch is also not rated for use with one of these systems. The reason for that is the amount of torque on the hitch and where it is installed on the vehicle puts too much force on for the hitch to withstand. What I strongly recommend as an alternative...

  • Is Fascia Trimming Required To Install A Trailer Hitch On A 2019 Audi Q7
    Yes, both the Curt Trailer Hitch part # C13277 and etrailer trailer hitch part # e88KR require fascia trimming on the 2019 Audi Q7. Both installations require the temporary removal of the bumper beam as well to get to the install location. This is required because both designs have a concealed cross tube that only allow the receiver portion of the hitch to stick through the fascia for an OEM look. The installations are the same.

  • 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...

  • Stealth Hitch for 2017 Audi Q7 That Won't Affect Hands Free Lift Gate
    With the Stealth hitch that fits your 2017 Audi Q7 part # 391AUDQ716 the hands free lift gate sensors would not be affected at all. The trimming of the fascia is not near enough to the sensors to be an issue at all. Since this hitch has a lower opening that totally removes when not in use so the sensors would not be affected like other options.

  • Best Hitch 2019 Audi Q7 that Allows Hands Free Lift Gate to Function
    It's possible that with the Curt hitch part # C13277 installed on your 2019 Audi Q7 you'd have limited access to the hands free liftgate function of your vehicle. You'd be limited to kicking to either side of the hitch opening. Now the best option for your vehicle is the Stealth hitch part # 391AUDQ716 that you referenced as the lower hitch opening removes when not in use so your hands free liftgate wouldn't be affected at all.

This Curt hitch would be the best option as we have found that Curt hitches have the highest build quality, great capacities, and easy installs.

This harness does not fit any Audi models; it fits only U.S. vehicles that have an industry-standard round U.S. Car type connector, which is usually found under the rear bumper or tucked away behind the spare tire.
