Ball Mount to Tow a Jayco Trailer with Coupler 16 Inches From Ground with a 2012 Audi Q7

We have yet to install Curt trailer hitch # 13220 on a 2012 Audi Q7 but on another vehicle that uses this same hitch it measured 18-1/2 inches from the ground to the top of the receiver opening. In that case you would use a ball mount with a 2-1/2 inch drop, or as close to that as possible, for a level coupler height of 16 inches.
The tongue weight of the trailer will pull down some at the ball so I recommend a ball mount with a 2 inch drop such as # D-4, Hitch Pin and Clip, # PC3, or a model with a 2-1/4 inch drop such as # C45030. Both are rated for 7,500 pounds gross trailer weight.
Another option is to use an adjustable ball mount such as # TK5007 which has a maximum rise of 9 inches and maximum drop of 10 inches. I have linked a video review of this ball mount for you.
