The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Matte black, powder coated steel is durable and corrosion resistant and creates a rugged look.This hitch looks like it came from the factory, incredible value. I did the complete installation in 3hrs 15min, alone, and taking water breaks lol. I recommend asking someone to help with the lifting parts, was a little challenging alone.
I recommend this hitch, great return on investment
Install on an 2023 Audi Q5 was not bad. Hard part was taking the bummer off but doable. Tip for using paper towels on the captured nuts worked perfectly.
The included instructions are helpful, and we also found the install video for a different hitch (same car) that helped a ton. Patience is key. Getting the bumper back on without any trimming was possible, but it was definitely not easy. Glad I had another person helping me. All in all, the installation was smooth with only three minor hiccups: the hitch fouled on a muffler shield (used pliers to slightly bend to not be an issue), the instructions didn’t mention disconnecting two wires (the video did, and was very easy with video instructions), and getting the bumper over the hitch without trimming was very tricky and took some effort to flex the bumper around it. Ultimately, the instructions and video did help immensely and I was pleased with the install and process.
I was pleased that this hitch in particular did not replace the crash bar.
The product arrived quickly, and is exactly what I ordered. I watched a video on [online] to help me with the install, and even though it was labeled "Difficult", with the video it was no problem. The final product fits and looks great, and will help me pull my trailer.
Delivery was on time and hitch was the quality listed. Helpful link to expert installers helped me find someone to install and they were able to do so.
It’s a very heavy-duty hitch that fit perfectly on my 2020 Audi Q5. I did by myself, but I should have waited for help. It would have been easier with someone else to hold up one side, but I got ‘er done.
Installed without any issues or modifications to the bumper. Had my local body shop install it so it was professional. Super happy with the way it looks.
Finding the hitch I needed was a simple process with trailer. Products are thoroughly described and the opinions of others are shared. Shipping was quick and tracking info was provided. I couldn’t ask for a better shopping experience. Thank you!
Great help on line to answer all my questions. Shipped fast.
Solid hitch and nice construction. [online] video instruction are a huge help figuring out how to remove the bumper. My biggest tips are 1) make sure you have a magnet to grab the recessed nuts and 2) when reattaching the recessed nuts, put a piece of paper towel in the socket before placing the nut in the socket. This gives it enough tension so that is doesn’t fall out before you can get it threaded onto the bolt. Specifically for my 2018 Q5, I could not figure out how to get the bumper reattached without trimming the facia. Frankly, it doesn’t even look possible with the 2018 model year. The instruction are lacking in this area. They only tell you to perform the same steps in reverse order. Thankfully, there are instruction on how to trim the facia on [online] and it was pretty simple with a pair of tin snips. Total install took about 2 hours.
Product was just as described install easy perfect fitment.
Taking the Q5 bumper wasn’t the easiest thing and you definitely should have a magnetic or long socket wrench, but installing the hitch receiver was super easy, best with 2 people since it’s heavy and hard to hold in place and bolt back in at the same time.
Right product, easy to follow instructions, fits great. The only downside is the first use resulted in paint flaking off, which of course will eventually lead to rust.
Very well made....great value...really difficult install on Audi Q55e plug in hybrid due to battery compartment placement in the car
Perfect quality, works great!
Easy install - just follow the directions on the video
Fit like it suppose to and worked like it swould.
