increas trailer towing for a6 Quatro wagon
I need to increase the above for a 96 model. I noticed in the owners manual
that with a two wheel trailer this model is rated for 2000 Lb trailer. If
its a four wheel trailer you can pull 3500 Lbs.
The trailer I have is 2 wheel and the all up weight of trailer and boat is
3500 Lbs.
How can I increase the towing capacity of my Audi to 3500 Lbs (2 wheel
Trailer). I assime the issue is tongue weight. Right? Does someoner make
air struts?

It could be a problem with stability on uneven roads, not just static
weight.

Not to mention braking capabilities.
Seems to me one should always put 10% of the towed weight on the ball. I'm
wondering if the owner's manual makes the assumption the tandem axle trailer
has brakes...

Just a guess, that you'd spend more upgrading the car, even if that's
possible, than just buying a four wheel trailer.
