Curt Trailer Hitch Installation - 2017 Audi Q5- Video
Ryan: How's it going Ryan here at etrailer.com. Today on our 2017 Audi Q5, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the CURT trailer hitch receiver. Many Q5 owners use their SUVs to do a little bit of everything. Whether it's a little bit of towing, maybe using a cargo carrier while you're on a road trip with the family, or even a bike rack to hit the trails with a few friends, this hitch is going to be a great solution for you to be able to enjoy the activities.Now for the most part, the hitch is pretty visible. However, it is tucked back quite a ways underneath the bumper, and so it is going to blend in, especially when it's on the ground. Now since it does set a little bit further back, something you're going to want to keep in mind is your clearance from your bumper here, especially if you plan on using those folding accessories.Now this is a Class III hitch, so we're going to have that two inch by two inch receiver tube opening. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2017 Audi Q5- Video
Today on our 2017 Audi Q5, we're going to take a look at, and also show you how to install, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Custom Fit Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver. This offers the two inch by two inch receiver tube opening. Its part number is 75940. Here's what the hitch is going to look like installed on our Q5. As you can see, you're not going to be adding a whole lot to the rear appearance of the vehicle, still going to maintain the really nice look of it. As you can see, we've completely removed the panel located on the underside here. What this does is it eliminates the need for us to cut any of our fascia here on the rear of the vehicle. more

Best 2017 Audi Q5 Trailer Hitch Options- Video
Kevin: Today we're going to be taking a look at the best hitch options for your 2017 Audi Q-5. Up top we've got the Curt. Part number C13136l, and then on the bottom we've got the Draw-Tite Part number 75940. The first obvious difference between these two hitches is that as you can see they look very different from each other. Although they look very different and mount up different they're going to come out in about the same position on the vehicle. On the Curt when it's mounted on the vehicle you are going to be able to see this cross tube a little bit but it's also tucked back underneath the vehicle far enough that it's not going to be very noticeable. You should have enough room with most of your class 3 accessories without having to worry about them hitting the rear of your vehicle. Down here on the Draw-Tite you're only going to see from about here down, so you're really just going to see the receiver tube and the safety chain connection points. Another noticeable difference between these two hitches is the safety chain connection points. On the Curt it's got this flat steel plate on the bottom, it's got these large wholes that are cut out. Down here on the Draw-Tite it's got these two verticle steel plates on either side that are part of the reinforcement brace that goes up to that cross-tube. more
