Please tell me if you have a hitch that fits a 2015 Audi Q7

Expert Reply:
There are hitches available for the 2015 Audi Q7 and I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13220 because of the durable powder coating that is used on Curt hitches; this will ultimately help prolong the life of your hitch by protecting it from rust and corrosion. This is a concealed cross tube hitch, so you'll get better ground clearance and a cleaner look compared to a hitch that is not concealed, and the 2" receiver makes it great for both towing or carrying hitch mounted accessories.
If you're going to be towing with this hitch you'll also need a wiring harness, ball mount, hitch ball, hitch pin and clip. For wiring I recommend using the Tekonsha ZCI Wiring Kit # 119250KIT since this doesn't require splicing into your factory wiring, which would be required otherwise without the factory towing package. The ZCI clamps onto your factory wires to receive the signal and provides you with a 4 way trailer wiring harness.
To complete your towing setup I recommend using a ball mount kit like the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900 which comes with 2 ball mounts with varying rise/drop, 2 hitch balls (1-7/8" and 2"), hitch pin, clip and storage bag. This is a great choice if you may tow different trailers occasionally or don't know for sure what you'll be towing right now, since it will cover a lot of the potential trailer heights and coupler sizes you might encounter.
I've linked some installation and product review videos of these parts for you to have a look at, as well, plus the link of the available hitches for your vehicle available on our site.
