Question:
so many newer SUVs have a larger plastic spoiler on the top of the rear hatch. Can they take the weight/pressure of the support strap. I have a a 2015 Audi Q3 and I would like to purchase a hitch but I am worried about the support strap

Most spoilers at the tops of SUVs and CUVs are not rated to support any weight or tension. But, Curt is the only manufacturer that would require that strap. Draw-Tite hitch # 75218 does not have that requirement so I would go with it and not worry about the strap on your 2015 Audi Q3.
I have included a link to all of the bike carriers we have that fit 2 inch trailer hitch receivers. The most popular option is the Hitching Post Pro, # TH934XTR. I have included a link to a video review for you.
