Question:

I recently purchased a Hollywood Sport Rider SE Hitch Bike Rack. I have a 2015 Audi Q5. Can you recommend the correct 2” hitch. I have no intentions of ever towing, so the hitch will used for a bike rack.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13136 is a great choice to do exactly what you want. I chose this hitch because it is right up there with the others as far as capacity and it offers an easy installation. Even laying on the ground 45 minutes and you'll be done. Check out the installation video I linked for you below.

If you are not comfortable handling the work any repair shop should be able to handle it for you. We do not work with any shops specifically so I can not recommend one for you but it should be something they are comfortable installing for no more than an hour's labor charge.
