You are correct, there are two options for a Stealth Hitch on your 2021 Audi Q3. The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391AUDQ319 and the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # 391AUDQ319T.

Essentially the difference is that the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391AUDQ319 is only rated for use with hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers. If you wanted to tow a trailer or anything else you would have to add the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring for Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391CONVC5. While the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # 391AUDQ319T includes both the accessories hitch and the ball mount package you would need to tow something.

If you never plan to do any towing then you could just use the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391AUDQ319. But if you ever planned on towing, it would be more economical to get the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # 391AUDQ319T.
