Question:

I have a 2019 Audi Q5, TFSI Quattro. Can the stealth hitch be installed without any trimming? I intend to buy a bike rack for the car.

Expert Reply:

Installation of the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391AUDQ518 will not require any cutting or trimming on your 2019 Audi Q5 TFSI Quattro. The receiver will fit in the factory cutout in the bumper. This has a max tongue weight of 600 lbs which is more than enough for a bike rack like the Kuat NV 2.0 # BA22B.

If you plan on towing you will need the # 391AUDQ518T instead which includes the towing kit. You could also add the towing kit # 391CONVD5 in the future if you change your mind.

I have attached a review and installation video below for your reference. If you let me know what you're looking for in a bike rack I would be happy to make a recommendation.
