   Custom Wiring Harness, 4-Way Flat Output, Select Audi Q5

   Loading Price....

This accessory slides into the receiver tube of your Audi Q5 hitch and serves as the attachment point (via a trailer ball) for the trailer coupler. When selecting a ball mount, make sure it’s the right match for your hitch in terms of shank size, ball diameter, weight rating, and the proper drop or rise.

A hitch pin secures the ball mount or other hitch-mounted accessory inside the receiver tube of your Audi Q5 hitch. Be sure the pin matches the receiver’s hole size. Some ball mounts conveniently include a hitch pin in the package.

A hitch tube cover helps protect your Audi Q5 hitch when it’s not in use. While the hitch has an open back design for easy cleaning, adding a cover makes maintenance even simpler. Just be sure the cover is sized correctly for your receiver opening.

1. Can you put a hitch on an Audi Q5? 

Yes, you can put a hitch on an Audi Q5. Many Q5 models come with the option of an OEM factory tow package, but if yours doesn’t have one, there are plenty of aftermarket hitches available from trusted brands like CURT. These receiver hitches are custom-fit for the Audi Q5, meaning they’re designed to bolt directly onto the vehicle’s existing frame mounting points, often without the need for drilling or major modifications.

2. Is an Audi Q5 a good towing car?

Yes, the Audi Q5 can be a good towing vehicle, but it depends on your towing needs and the specific model year. The Q5 is a luxury compact SUV with a strong engine lineup, available all-wheel drive, and a well-balanced chassis, which makes it stable and capable for light- to moderate-duty towing. Most Q5 models have a towing capacity between 2,000 and 4,400 pounds, which is suitable for small trailers, boats, or lightweight campers.

3. How do I know which tow hitch fits my specific Audi Q5 year and trim package?

The easiest way to find the right hitch for your Audi Q5 is to use the CURT vehicle lookup tool at the top of our trailer hitch page. No matter your model year, trim, or package, the tool will show you the options that are designed to fit your Q5 perfectly.

4. Does the Audi Q5 have a tow package?

Yes, certain Audi Q5 models offer an optional factory tow package. This package typically includes a pre-installed receiver hitch, wiring harness, and sometimes a trailer stability system designed to integrate seamlessly with the vehicle’s electronics. It allows the Q5 to tow within its rated capacity — usually between 2,000 and 4,400 pounds, depending on the model year and engine.

If your Q5 didn’t come with the factory tow package, you can still add an aftermarket hitch and wiring setup, which will provide similar towing capabilities.

5. Can I install a tow hitch myself?

Yes, you can install a tow hitch on an Audi Q5 yourself, especially if you have some basic mechanical skills and the right tools. Most aftermarket hitches for the Q5 are custom-fit, which means they bolt directly to existing mounting points on the frame without requiring drilling or major modifications.
