He said he had a few built last December when I bought one so he may have a couple left.

Default I have an extra 13pin to 4 flat from Euro hitches - no longer available

I have Justin's hitch. First it is the most awesome hitch! Second I have used the heck out of it, way more than I would have ever expected. I love, love it.

As soon as I had ordered it I ordered the 13 pin to 4 flat adapter from Eurohitches as seen in his link. It turns out my 2001 allroad did not have any adapter to begin with so I do not need the part.

The cost was $62.95 plus $14.86 shipping - Total $77.81

Now they are no longer in stock. Be prepared with all the parts you need for his next batch.

I will sell you mine for $60 including USPS Priority Shipping

Please PM me.

Default Allroad hitch

Hi Justin
I bought and installed one of these 2 years back with great results. That car is totaled now and I am looking at another allroad.

Do you still make/sell these?

I tweaked the design many more times to increase strength, decrease weight, and make manufacturing it simpler by reducing the number of parts and materials needed, with the overall goal of lowering the cost to produce.

EDIT: Please see this post for updated info:
Who wants a trailer hitch? There is now a better option available. - Page 9 - AudiWorld Forums



Here are the hitch specs:
Similar in design to the NA OEM hitch, mounts in the same locations
Uses a 2" vertical hidden receiver
Rated at 3300 lbs towing weight, 330 lbs tongue weight as I can't recommend towing more than the 3300 lbs Audi states in the owners manual
Hidden, swing down electrical connector bracket
Loops for safety chains
Mounts for bumper crossmember
Powdercoated finish


I would like to get a list going of who is interested in a hitch, so we can come up with a number for an initial production run. Please reply to this thread if you are interested. Also if you have any questions, comments, or feedback please let me know that as well.

Thank you,

Justin Scheifflee

Here are a few pictures.

I bought and installed this hitch on my 05 allroad with *fantastic* results. That car is now totaled and I am looking at getting another allroad.

Do you still make/sell these?

Just picked up an 01 All Road. Are you still producing these hitches or do you have any currently available for sale? Please let me know!

I bought one from him about a month ago and he had a few left. Best thing to do is PM or email him.

Anyone know if Justin still makes the hitch?
I have his first prototype on my AR, but need another one.
Or someone selling used (Justin or Bosal or Euro)?

I got an email from Justin earlier this month that he was starting production again. I've put a deposit down on a new hitch, and I should have it in a few weeks. Email Justin to see if you can get in the queue.
