Question:
I need some parts to tow a trailer with our 2020 Q5, which hitch do you recommend and what else would I need?

The Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch part # 76183 and Curt Class III Receiver Hitch part # C13331 are both excellent options for a 2020 Audi Q5. I recommend the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch because the receiver tube opening is tucked behind the rear bumper a bit more so it is not as noticeable from outside the vehicle. Furthermore, the Curt hitch requires less modifications to the rear plastic fascia and the powder coating is more durable so fewer chips and scratches will occur.
I have attached both an install video and photo for you on an Audi Q5 as well as a list of parts you might want to consider if towing.
