As you noted we do offer several Class III hitches for the 2013 model year; these can be seen on the link provided. I am pleased to advise that my contact at Draw-Tite confirmed for me that their 2-inch hitch # 75940 will also fit the 2014 model year of the Q5.

I have linked an installation video as well as the written installation instructions for this item. Drilling is not required for installation but the exhaust must be lowered and lower fascia removed temporarily. If your Q5 has a backup camera some trimming of the fascia may also be required. All mounting hardware is included with this hitch.

If you plan to tow you will need to order a ball mount and hitch pin/clip as these do not come with the hitch. I have included a link to our page for all 2-inch Class III ball mounts; you can use the filters at left to narrow the results to the ball mounts that have the correct rise or drop to match the heights of your hitch ball and trailer coupler. (A trailer frame should always be level when hitched to the tow vehicle.) For a pin and clip you can use part # PC3.

If your plans are not for towing but instead for using a bike or cargo carrier you can use the other links provided to view such accessories compatible with this 2-inch Class III hitch. I have also included two articles concerning bike and cargo carriers that might help you determine your preferences in each category.
