Installation Without Trimming Fascia on Audi Q5 with ECO hitch # 306-X7397

Updated 07/25/2019 | Published 07/23/2019

Question:

I see you have a new hitch from ECO hitch that is made for a 2018 Audi Q5. I just order and received a CURT hitch for the same, but Im not happy that I need to cut the back bumper facia. SO I have not installed it yet. When will you be publishing the install instructions for this model on my Q5? For if it will fit without cutting anything, then I will most likely return the CURT and get the ECO.

I understand not wanting to cut into the fascia on your bumper on your Audi Q5. Since the EcoHitch # 306-X7397 is a fairly new addition for the Q5, we do not have an install video available. After speaking with EcoHitch, they tell me that installation of this hitch does not require any cutting into the fascia.

For what it's worth, I know that customers have also reported that during installation of the Draw-Tite # 76183, the install of that product can be made without having to cut anything.
