Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Audi Q5 for Bike Rack
Question:
I’m looking at the Draw Tite and Curt hitches for my 2015 Audi Q5. Which do you recommend for a bike rack? I don’t currently have plans to use the hitch for towing. Also, would the Thule Helium Aero 2 bike rack be a good choice for both hitches?

Helpful Expert Reply:
For your 2015 Audi Q5 the best choice for a trailer hitch for carrying a bike rack is the Draw Tite part # 75940 as it is a bit more concealed so it's easier on the eyes.
My favorite 2 bike rack is the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack # HLY94FR because it's a platform bike rack which means it's easy to load/unload, it's light weight at only 20 lbs and it's made in the USA.
The Thule Helium Aero 2 you referenced is no longer available as it's been discontinued from Thule, but it was a heavier rack that used the hanging style for the bikes, so I would still recommend the Hollywood Racks Destination over it.
