Hi all,

I am looking for a hitch for my 2008 A6 Avant 3.2. I'll probably be using it mostly to either tow a trailer with a sport bike on it. Or mount a rack with the sport bike onto that hitch (something like this http://www.versahaul.com/vhsportro.php though a less likelier option)

I am trying to narrow down the hitch options. Here are the things I know so far:

- there is no Audi OEM hitch for my model, so I have to find an aftermarket one
- the only interesting thing I found in the owners manual that's worth mentioning is this "Maximum trailer weight - a trailer for your vehicle is limited to a typical class 1 or class 2 trailer".
- I also found out this neat diagram for the trailer classes:

- my mechanic friend told me that often times a hitch installation requires to drill and/or cut pieces of your rear bumper
- and finally I have seen tons of different after market options that confused the heck out of me as I am a noob at this hitch thing.

So my question is - could anyone of you recommend a hitch that you may have used and that would be relatively easy to install?

Thanks in advance,

Sideout

 

Any luck on your search. I have been looking around as well and the answer is not documented on the Internet as far as I can find.

thanks!
