Recommended Trailer Hitch And Bike Carrier For 2013 Audi A6 Wagon
Question:
Hi, Im looking for a trunk trailer for my Audi A6 Avant s-line. The car is not listed in the fitting guide but if I look to the user guide I noticed that there is a way to attach the starpers to the roof rack load bar. I have such load bar for my vehicule so could you confirm to me that the trailer will fit to my car. FYI I dont have any trailer hitch so Im only able to but my bikes on the trunk Thx

We do not have a trunk-mount bike carrier that is designed to work with your 2013 Audi A6 Wagon but I do have a solution that will work for you.
I recommend installing a trailer hitch like part # C11423. This is a Class l trailer hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. Per Curt - All non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt.
The bike carrier I recommend is the Thule Camber 2-Bike Rack, part # TH9058. This bike carrier has anti-sway cradles that help keep the bikes from banging into each other and has a tilting feature when unloaded to allow you access to the rear cargo area of your vehicle.
