It's the hitch that e-trailer.com sells (Code: C11199) made by Curt. Cost about $220. Installation was simple to accomplish in the driveway. Wiring for the trailer lights was only simple in hindsight. The wiring converter was about $80 (be sure to get the right one) and is simple to install if you consult a thread I posted earlier regarding the issue (https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho....php?t=2859062).
