Small utiliy trailer on my A4
Guys, will my little A4 1.8T engine be able to handle a small utility
trailer hitched up. Maybe I should rephrase as whats the max. towing
capacity for my audi. Does anyone have any experience.
The better question probably is does anyone have a old pickup for sale.

Re: Small utiliy trailer on my A4
Tim,
Considering that people in various microcars tow trailers (ie: Merc. Smart,
Heinkel, etc.) as well as motorcycles, I'm sure that the A4 would be able to
tow a trailer - not a fifth wheel with a Cat excavator on it of course, but
a small utility trailer that you could carry small loads of building
materials, etc. or a small pop-up trailer - probably around 1500 lbs. The
max. towing capacity should be listed in your owner's manual - there are
hitches out there for Audis made by Da'lan and others. Try
www.blauparts.com to see if they have any available for your car.
Cheers!

1987 Audi 5kTQ - hitchless
1980 Audi 5k - removable light duty hitch - towed a jacked-up pickup once
over 100kms and an empty car hauler trailer - not that I'd recommend either,
though.
1962 and '64 Auto Union DKW Junior deLuxes - hitchless, but they were
available as an option.

Re: Small utiliy trailer on my A4
the towing load should not exceed three quarters of the unladen mass of the
towing vehicle.
