Trailer Hitch Recommendation and Install Video for a 2014 Audi Q5

Question:

If I were to purchase one of your trailer hitches for my 2014 Audi Q5, who could I find to install it? The dealer wants to charge me a significant amount. Thanks,

Any qualified mechanic in your area would have no problem installing a hitch like the # C13136 on your 2014 Audi Q5. Hitches install pretty easily when compared to some aftermarket modifications people install on their vehicles. Easy enough that a good portion of our customers install the hitches themselves. I attached an install video for you to check out that shows how this hitch would install on a 2014 Q5 just like yours.

If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included to the right that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
