Options for tow hitch adapter
Would anyone suggest a good option for tow hitch adapter that doesn't hang low like the one Curt makes?

Or this...
https://stealthhitches.com/ I just had one installed on my '22 Q7 - haven't used it yet, but I like the design. |

Thanks @aces-n-eights @bg_2007Q7 !
This one still hangs low, but you can at least remove it - already better. :) Does anyone have an idea what it takes to install OEM one (eg what you need to buy, van it be done not at the dealer, cost)? |

I believe that is the same model I linked, or maybe not, either way, it's nice...
I had mine installed by a local trailer hitch shop. I elected to get the style with hitches that are used for accessories like a bike rack as well as one for towing a trailer. The hitch system was $967 and the installation was about $400. I contacted my local Audi dealer and he recommended this local shop - the dealers cost to install would have been quite a bit more. |

While not Audi hitch, conceptually the installation between genuine audi hitch and this would be very similar. Also this one. https://www.etrailer.com/tv-install-...-q7-76076.aspx |

All I know is the factory tow hitch is pretty expensive and then you have to factor in labor. You can look up the price from audi.com
Only time I had to go aftermarket was for my C5 allroad - the "Justin hitch." I've never regretted going OEM. I figure Audi did a good job of designing and building the hitch (or outsourcing it to a manufacturing partner.). Yea, Curt has lots of experience building lots of hitches, but Audi knows Audi. You may only need it for a bike rack; the next guy might want to pull a horse trailer and would really prefer to find OEM underneath. |

Buy it once and forget about it. I had OEM on my Touareg TDI and my Q7. Went OEM on my Cayenne (actually a Q7 hitch, but it's the same part number.)
