Default Class 2 tralier hitch

Anyone know of one available for this chassis, I refuse to buy an SUV just so I can occasionally haul things...

Thanks,
Brendon

Default Only Class 1 is available, they're made by Da'lan and.....

They cost around $240 ~ $280(not including install). They are a pain in the *** to install. Plan to have 6 holes in your trunk.

Default What neonhero said...

Paid about fifty bucks to have hitch and electronics done. It's a damn shame to put on our cars. But with all wheel drive and mad power, it easily tows 2500 lbs. That's the limit though. I agree, no way in hell I was getting an SUV. My other car is an S2000, so the S4 was the obvious choice. I use it to tow my jet ski. Good luck.

I have an AWESOME hitch that is bolted to the spare wheel well. It is a receiver. I think I got it on hitch web or something like that.

But, note that you need to install an additional power relay in Audis as the power going to the brake lights isn't sufficient.

I will look up the brand and post a picture shortly.

I don't want to put a hitch on mine, but I also need to tow a jet ski.

It's fine. I did the "unthinkable" and hooked a hitch to the Vette to tow my track wheels

Try http://www.hitch-web.com

I would like to be able to tow my GTI to the track, as well as pick up stuff from lumber etc.

I wonder if the hitch for the Allroad can be made to fit the S4???
