Question:

i am looking to purchase an suv comfort and capacity that can carry a 600lb load on the hitch. 80lb mototote carrier and 450lb motorcycle the 2021 audi Q5 or possibly 23 highlander. my question is why no curt model is offered for audi? and why the same model is listed for plugin and non-plugin audi E94CR , your website seems very comprehensive.

Expert Reply:

The Curt 13499 is no longer offered but Curt manufactures all of the etrailer hitches for us so you'd be getting the same thing with the # e94CR, with the only difference being that this hitch comes with a matte black finish. The fitguide can be a bit confusing some times, but the reason for the plug-in / no plug-in clarification is because on some vehicles there are fitment differences between these models. Since the system sections the vehicle this way you'll see the same hitch twice since that particular one fits both models.

The # e94CR has a 750lb tongue weight capacity so you should have more than enough capacity for your motorcycle and carrier. If you wanted a hitch for the 2023 Toyota Highlander as well then you'd want the Curt # C45CR for non-XSE models or the EcoHitch # EH35VR for XSE models.
