Parts Needed to Install Trailer Hitch and 7-Way on 2009 Audi Q5

Question

Question:

2009 Audi Q5 3.2L. Im unsure of which trailer hitch to buy. My boat trailer has a 7 Pin Round plug. So far I have one C13136 and one HM40975 in my cart. Please advise on what else I need for a complete installation. Thanks, Norm

Hey Norm, the Curt hitch part # C13136 is the correct fit for your 2009 Audi Q5 and would work great when towing your boat trailer. Since your vehicle doesn't have the factory tow package you would need to go a different route for trailer wiring. You'd need to start with the part # C59236 for a 4-way and then to convert it to a 7-way you'd need the part # 37185.

Hey Rob, since your 2015 Ram Promaster 1500 doesn't have a 7-way currently that would indicate that it does not have the factory tow package and you would need to go a different route to install a 7-way and brake controller. The first thing you…

Thanks for your question, Erald. The converter box pretty much dumbs down the Jeeps wiring when towing a trailer. Wiring on a trailer is pretty basic compared to how the wiring is on a newer vehicle. The best route to have both would be to get Curt…

Hi Rick; we don't have any reports on our end for the Curt #C13136 or etrailer #e57AR regarding the U-bolts. It sounds to me like some people weren't careful and applied too much torque which is what caused the issue. They probably looked at…

That's a good question but no, the bumper on your 2015 Audi Q5 will not be damaged more easily and will not be more fragile with the installation of the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver #75940. The bumper support is directly replaced by…
