Anyone install/have a trailer hitch on their B5?

I'm thinking of towing my quad which weighs about 600lbs...

Pics or links to where I can get a hitch would be appreciated.

Thanks!

 

Im pretty sure you could--I would never put my 250R Behind my audi.

 

Thats alot of wear and tear on the drive train and suspension and wheel bearings and non of that is cheap on an audi I wouldn't do it.

 

Yeah, our cars arn't meant to be pulling that behind them... I would put so much extra stress on your drivetrain... not worth it IMO.

 

I put a hitch on my B5. I am pulling a small single axel trailer with my 01 Honda 250R on it. I cant even feel the trailer. The weight on the hitch with the trailer loaded is only 80 lbs. Our cars have plenty of power to pull a smaller trailer. My brother had a Civic with a hitch and pulled the same trailer for 6 or more years with no problems at all. Just dont over load the trailer and keep the weight evenly distributed. Here are a few pictures of the one I made.
(sorry pictures were taken from my cell)

 

I put a hitch on my v6 when I bought the car and towed my Fiat x1/9 600 kms. home through the mountains. It towed the 2200 lb. car at 100 kms. up a 10% grade and felt like it didn't even notice it had a car behind it. I was impressed. The hitch was factory made, not Audi and very similar to the hitch A4B5guy has made. I figure if the car cannot do what I ask of it I will get replace it with something that will. The car should be able to tow the load you plan on without a problem to any part of the car. The load on the drive train will be less than running the car at full throttle which it handles easily.

Check out this site. Here is one made for our cars. I was going to buy this but I figured I could make it myself.

I own a Lonestar250r. Two Stroke all the way----

 

I do love the two stroke for sure. But sadly next year I will be picking up a four stroke due to the fact that they are banning two strokes from the tracks and trails due to emissions and noise laws. I will definetly keep my two stroke for my own land though.

 

if your car is stock and it's the 2.8, you'll be fine, just don't go pulling a yacht. it's a bit riskier with the 1.8t but it should be fine too
