Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers.
Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Audi Q5 and Porsche Macan (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility).
It provides a weight carrying capacity of 5,000 lbs. GTW and 750 lbs. TW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety.
To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.

Equip your vehicle for towing and hitch-mounted accessories with a dependable CURT 2" trailer hitch. Designed for a vehicle-specific fit, CURT receiver hitches provide a strong and secure connection point for towing trailers, carrying bikes, transporting cargo and using other compatible 2-inch hitch accessories.
Our selection of CURT 2-inch receiver hitches includes options for trucks, SUVs, crossovers, vans and passenger vehicles. Each hitch is engineered to match specific vehicle mounting points, helping provide a clean installation and dependable performance. Depending on the vehicle application, available options may include Class 3, Class 4 and heavy-duty receiver hitches with different gross trailer weight and tongue weight capacities.
A 2" x 2" receiver opening is one of the most common hitch sizes and works with a wide range of towing accessories, including ball mounts, bike racks, cargo carriers, hitch steps and tow hooks. When towing a trailer, you may also need a properly rated trailer ball, hitch pin, wiring harness, brake controller or weight distribution system.
CURT trailer hitches feature a durable black finish designed to help protect against rust, scratches and exposure to road conditions. Many models install using existing holes in the vehicle frame, although drilling, trimming or temporary removal of vehicle components may be required for certain applications.
Use our vehicle fitment tools to find the correct CURT 2" trailer hitch for your year, make and model. Always compare the hitch rating with your vehicle’s towing capacity and the ratings of every component in your towing setup. The maximum towing capacity is determined by the lowest-rated component.

The CURT 13612 is designed for Audi Q5 models. However, the installation procedure varies depending on whether your Q5 has a bumper fascia hitch access panel. Models with the access panel have a simpler installation, while those without require trimming of the lower fascia panel. Verify your specific model year and configuration before purchasing, as the manual does not specify which model years are compatible.
The CURT 13612 is designed for Porsche Macan models. Installation procedures vary by model variant: Macan S and Turbo models require trimming of the lower fascia panel to specific dimensions (4-1/4" and 6-1/2" as shown in Step 11), while GTS models require trimming 'as necessary.' The manual does not specify which model years are compatible.
The CURT 13612 has a gross trailer weight (GTW) capacity of 5,000 lbs. and a tongue weight (TW) capacity of 750 lbs. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, as that is the limiting factor for your specific vehicle.

Yes, on Audi Q5 models only. Step 5 requires removing one M6 nut holding the fuse box in place using a 10mm socket, then lifting the fuse box out of the way. The electrical connectors remain in place; do not disconnect them. The fuse box is set aside during installation and reinstalled later.

Yes. Step 8 requires carefully disconnecting all electrical connectors from the bumper fascia before setting it aside. For Porsche Macan models, also disconnect the washer hose from the fascia.
To remove debris from weldnuts in the frame, spray lubricant or compressed air into the hole. For heavy debris, use a wire brush. Take care not to damage the threads. This cleaning should be done before sliding the hitch into the frame rails.
Step 10: Slide the hitch into the frame rails, aligning the hitch mounting slots with the retaining bracket holes on each side. Place the retaining brackets back in position and reinstall the two M10 bolts per side. Torque the M10 bolts to 44 ft-lbs.
Trimming is required for some models. Audi Q5 models without a bumper fascia hitch access panel require trimming of the lower fascia panel. Porsche Macan S and Turbo models require trimming to specific dimensions: 4-1/4" and 6-1/2" as shown in Step 11. Porsche Macan GTS models require trimming 'as necessary.' Audi Q5 models with a hitch access panel do not require trimming; instead, remove the access panel using two T-25 torx screws.
A rotary tool is required to trim the fascia panel. The manual lists a rotary tool in the Tools Required section.
Torque the M10 bolts to 44 ft-lbs. These bolts secure the retaining brackets and hitch to the frame rails.
Torque M6 fasteners to 7 ft-lbs. This applies to fasteners used during reassembly of the bumper fascia and other components.
