Curt Trailer Hitch for a 2019 Audi A3
Question:
2019 Audi A3. Draw-Tite or Curt hitch? Not sure which one is best. I'll be using it for a bike rack.

Expert Reply:
I recommend the Curt # C11399 trailer hitch for your 2019 Audi A3 (non e-tron). This is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. You will also need a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 for all non-trailer accessories. The stabilizing strap is required by Curt and will help keep your bike rack from moving around too much during travel. I have attached the installation instructions for you to check out.
Since this is a Class I trailer hitch, you are limited to carrying 2 bikes. If you don't already have a bike rack then I highly recommend the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 because it has a very sleek look, has an aluminum construction (which resists rust), and comes with bike and rack locks. The wheel mount design makes it compatible with any bike frame style that doesn't have a front fender. The Sherpa 2.0 comes in Black # SH12B, Gray # SH12G, and Pearl # SH12P to compliment the color of your Audi. A review video has been linked for you to reference this bike rack.
