Based on my research, your 2018 Audi Q7 features a 7,700 pound towing capacity if you have the 3.0L engine. If you happen to have the 2.0L engine, the towing capacity of the vehicle is 4,400 pounds, so I do recommend verifying the limits of the vehicle by checking the owner's manual or asking the dealer you are working with. You will need to adhere to the weakest component in your setup, even if the trailer hitch itself has a higher rating.
In cases when a weight distribution system cannot... view full answer...
Sounds like your 2017 Audi Q7 has the round connector needed for installing a 7-way like the part # A10-7072VP that you referenced. All you'd need to do is plug this in and you'd be set.
I attached a picture that shows the round connector your Audi will need to have. view full answer...
With the Stealth hitch that fits your 2017 Audi Q7 part # 391AUDQ716 the hands free lift gate sensors would not be affected at all. The trimming of the fascia is not near enough to the sensors to be an issue at all. Since this hitch has a lower opening that totally removes when not in use so the sensors would not be affected like other options. view full answer...
For your 2013 Audi Q7, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75950 over the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13220 because it requires a stability strap # 18050 for any non-trailer loads like bike racks and cargo carriers. The attached installation details do not state trimming is required for your model vehicle.
If you will be towing or using a lighted accessory, I recommend the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter... view full answer...
The hitch for the Audi Q7 does not have a weight distribution rating because the Curt hitch will not increase the weight capacity by adding the system as some hitches do. So you can install the weight distribution, however the weight capacity will stay at 6,000 lbs which is plenty for your application.
As far as the brake controller, you will not have a controller installed in the vehicle, but you may have the vehicle pre-wired for a controller. This means there may be a harness from the... view full answer...
Sounds like you have the Thule Combi Carrier part # TH665C which requiresd a 2 inch hitch and you have a 1-1/4 inch hitch installed on your 2018 Audi Q7. The solution you need is to replace your current hitch with a 2 inch trailer hitch. For that we have the etrailer part # e88KR. view full answer...
If the Thule crossbar is the newer Wingbar you'd need the strip part # 1500052989 or if it's the older Aeroblade you'd want the part # TH69JH. view full answer...
The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # 391AUDQ818T is going to be our best option for your 2024 Audi Q7. This receiver allows you to completely remove either the ball mount or 2" receiver when not needed so you will not even see it when not needed. This kit also includes the wiring for a 7-way connection and an adapter for a 4-way flat which is the most commonly found connectors for trailers.
I do recommend getting the Carrying Case # 391CASEC to store the ball... view full answer...
We have numerous enclosed hitch mounted cargo carriers so the only question is how big do you need?
Yakima EXO carrier # Y62VR is a great option because it swings away from the carrier to give you access to the back of your 2018 Audi Q7. It looks amazing and is part of an entire modular system that can grow and change as your needs do. There will need to be less than 4-1/4 inches from the center of your hitch pin hole to the rear edge of the Q7 bumper for this carrier to clear the back... view full answer...
Both the RockyMounts MonoRail Solo 1 Bike Rack # RKY10007 and the RockyMounts HighNoon bike rack # RKY87RR are very stable. The RockyMounts MonoRail Solo has a slight edge because it sits a little closer to the vehicle causing a little less leverage. You can also add a one bike add-on to the MonoRail with part # RKY10005. However, if you have fenders on your bike, you definitely should go with the RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo Bike Rack # RKY87RR. The HighNoon has added extra straps to... view full answer...
I suggest the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C13277 due to the way it mounts. You will need to trim the fascia to install this or any other model hitch on the Audi Q7. But this has best clearance and build quality. Please note the linked instructions and the attached image showing the hitch installed. This has a minimal section that hangs down providing hindered ground clearance.
If you will be towing, I suggest the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 119250KIT. Along with... view full answer...
To add sway control to your 2018 Audi Q7 towing setup I highly recommend the Tuson Asymmetric Sway Control # 335TSC-1000. I really like this unit because it activates the brakes on your trailer (per side as needed) when it senses the trailer start to sway. Not full-on braking, but light stops so it brings the trailer back under control.
This is a higher-end setup but it does install permanently on the trailer and comes with an easy-to-read troubleshooting light in case any of the wiring... view full answer...
Since your Furrion port is 10 amps, you'll need a lighter duty kit, and an easy-to-use option that will work perfectly for you is the Go Power Portable Solar System with Digital Solar Controller - 90 Watt Solar Panel # 34282729.
This is really simple to set up, as it comes with the correct plug which will hook up to your Furrion solar port so there is no labor needed or messy wiring. This panel will allow a steady charge of your trailer's battery so you can keep it powered, with the only... view full answer...
I recommend using the Curt Stretchable Cargo Net # C18201 with the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # C18115-117. This is actually the same exact net that we used in the attached review video and picture. view full answer...
The suitability of the racks you mentioned will depend on a few different factors.
• The weight of the bikes
• Do the bikes have fenders?
• Do the bikes have fat tires?
The Saris SuperClamp EX 4, part # SA4026F can accommodate 4 bikes. The capacity for the 2 inner most bikes is 60 lbs each, and the capacity for the 2 outermost bikes is 35 lbs each. The rack can accommodate bikes with tires up to 4-1/2 inches wide right out of the box, or if the # SA4419 fat tire adapters are added, it'll... view full answer...
For your 2021 Audi Q7 the hitch I recommend is the etrailer part # e88KR as it has high towing capacities, is mostly hidden, and has great ground clearance.
Then for trailer wiring you'd want the zero splice ZCI kit part # 119250KIT which like the name implies does not require splicing into the vehicle wiring since it uses sensors instead. I attached an install video for this kit on a similar Q7 for you to check out as well. view full answer...
Thank you for your purchase!
The Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3,500-lb Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKHD-545-35-K you purchased are pre-greased with Lithium complex, multipurpose grease.
For compatible grease I recommend the LubriMatic Multi-Purpose Lithium Grease # L11315. If you do not already have a grease gun you will also need the # L30200 to add the grease to your bearing buddies.
I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at. view full answer...
A fairing will help direct air over the Yakima carrier # Y04089 that you referenced. To pick out a fairing you need to measure the distance between the feet of the roof rack and go with one that fits the best between them.
Below are the available sizes we offer that are for Thule bars and can fit other crossbars:
# TH62WV for a 32 inch fairing, # TH82WV for a 44 inch fairing, # TH22WV for a 52 inch fairing. view full answer...
We have the Curt hitch part # C13277 as a confirmed fit for your 2022 Audi Q7 which does not require drilling to install and is mostly hidden. Then for trailer wiring the Curt # C59236 is a confirmed fit as well. view full answer...
The hitch I recommend for your 2022 Audi Q7 is the Curt # C13277. This American made hitch will be a pretty involved install, but once finished will have a clean, stock look as only the receiver tube will be able to be seen. So no ugly cross tube. This will also be great for carrying a cargo carrier, like the Curt # C18150, as it is rated up to 7,000 pounds towing and 700 pounds of tongue weight capacity (which is the one you will need to keep an eye on for a cargo carrier), but you will... view full answer...
