What Can Be Used to Trim Fascia When Installing Trailer Hitch on 2013 Audi Q7
Question:
What do you suggest to trim the fascia plate on the bumper with? I expect using a knife will not be strong enough to cut the thick plastic, and using a saw, the cut will not be smooth. Suggestions? Thanks.

As you noted, when installing the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75950 on your 2013 Audi Q7, some fascia trimming will be required. For cutting the fascia, you can use a new, sharp pair of tin snips or a razor knife (or a similar cutting tool). I have included the installation details for you to check out.
I have attached an installation video on a different vehicle, just so you can see this process in action. You can skip ahead to around the 4:50 mark to see the installer trim the fascia on the vehicle.
