  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2011 Audi A6 Quattro Towing Small Power Boat
  • The best option for your 2011 Audi A6 is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11344. It has a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs and maximum tongue weight of 200 lbs. You will need to check your owner's manual to find what your A6 is capable of towing as well. You will be limited by whichever is lower, the hitch capacity or the towing capacity of your vehicle. Since you will be doing some towing, I recommend the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with...

  • Bike Carrying Options for a 2019 Audi A6
  • We do offer bike carrying options for as 2019 Audi A6, but unfortunately none of our vendors offer a trailer hitch for your vehicle at this time. So, the remaining options are a trunk mount or a roof mounted rack, neither of which you were too thrilled about. Between the two options, I'd be much more inclined to choose a roof mounted carrying option as the roof racks are custom designed to fit a given vehicle. Because of this, they fit tightly and won't move around possibly causing damage...

  • Best Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2009 Audi A6 and a 2009 Toyota Venza
  • The nicest trunk mounted bike rack we offer that has been confirmed as a fit for both your 2009 Audi A6 and your 2009 Toyota Venza is the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 rubber coated straps to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the protected straps also last longer. This rack includes a system to lock both the rack and the bikes to the...

  • Roof Rack and Large Roof Cargo Box Recommendation for 2018 Audi A6 Sedan
  • The best roof rack I can recommend for your 2018 Audi A6 sedan is going to be the Thule WingBar Evo kit that uses the part numbers # TH711400, # TH710501, and # TH145083. The reasons I recommend this roof rack is because the crossbars are aero shaped which allows them to be super quiet, the rack is very easy to install, and the overall quality and design of the rack is excellent so the rack will fit and work well for a very long time. I checked with Thule and with this rack installed the...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Bike Carrier For 2013 Audi A6 Wagon
  • 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...

We haven't had a chance to install this on your model vehicle, but I went out to the warehouse to take a measurement on the hitch that will allow you to see how far down this will hang beneath your Audi.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Bike Rack For 2014 Audi A6
  • We only have one hitch that's a confirmed fit for your 2014 Audi A6, the Curt part # C11423. This hitch does require fascia trimming though. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info. If you plan on carrying any women's...

  • Best Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for a 2012 Audi A6 Prestige
  • We base the fits for our trunk racks based on what the manufacturer recommends for the bike rack. Yakima does not list the # Y02633 as a fit at this time (it may change in the future) so I would not recommend it for you. Regardless if other online retailers have said it would fit (most likely by mistake). Instead I would recommend the Thule OutWay 3 trunk rack part # TH56BV which has been confirmed as a fit. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It...

If you were planning on using the hitch as an attachment point for a bike rack, keep in mind that a bike rack used in a Class I hitch will be limited to carrying two bikes only. You would also need the stabilization strap # 18050 when using the Curt hitch to carry a bike rack or cargo carrier.

  • 2014 A6 Quattro Hitch Recommendation for Bike Rack
  • For your 2014 Audi A6 we have the Curt hitch part # C11423 that is a confirmed fit and would work well for carrying a bike rack. I attached a picture that shows the hitch installed on a similar 2014 Audi A6 as well. Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a review video for you to check for the strap as well.

  • What is Needed to Add a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2009 Audi A6 Avant
  • The Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow 7-, 5- and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector - Vehicle End - Ergonomic Design, # HM48470, can mount pretty much anywhere you want it to. The most common place is to the left (driver side) of the trailer hitch receiver opening. Based on the design of the trailer hitches for the 2009 Audi A6 Avant, if you were to install it on the bottom of the cross tubing of the hitch, it will be a little below the trailer hitch receiver opening. If this is too low, you can mount...

  • Should 2009 Audi A6 or 2016 Audi A4 be Used to Tow JetSki Trailer
  • From what I could find it looks like your 2009 Audi A6 has about a 2,000 lb towing capacity while your 2014 Audi A4 is around 1,200 lbs so I recommend using the A6 since it has the higher rating. You will need to verify these weight ratings with your owner's manual or your nearest Audi dealer. If you don't already have equipment to tow your JetSki trailer with then you will need the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch # C11344. Then you also need wiring for your trailer lights. I recommend the...

  • Trailer Hitch Towing Capacities for 2005 Audi A6
  • Here in America, we always have lower towing capacities that the same vehicles in Europe. It has to do with the sue-happy legal climate we have over here, so they rate vehicles extremely cautiously over here. For a hitch for your 2005 Audi A6 we have the Curt hitch part # C11344 which has towing capacities of 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. You would need to go by the lowest capacity between your vehicle and the hitch as the overall capacity. I can't recommend you ever...

  • Lowest Profile Roof Rack for a 2016 Audi A6 Sedan
  • The lowest profile roof rack for a 2016 Audi A6 Sedan is the Inno Aero Crossbar System part # INXB100-108, part # INXS200, and part # INK412. This system sits about 3-1/2" to 4" from the roof to the top of the crossbar but it is hard to get exact measurements due to all the different roof shapes. I have attached a photo of the Inno Aero Crossbar System installed on a different vehicle that way you can get a better feel for how tall it is.

  • 2016 Audi A6 Quattro Trailer Hitch Recommendation
  • For your 2016 Audi A6 we have the Curt hitch part # C11423 that is a confirmed fit and would work well for you. For trailer wiring the best option is the ZCI kit part # 119250KIT which instead of requiring you to hardwire into your veicles trailer wiring uses sensors instead which makes for an easier, less-invasive install. For a ball mount you'd want the # C45521 which is the recommended ball mount for this hitch. Then for a hitch ball part # A-82 for a 2 inch ball or part # A-80 for...

  • We have a similar trunk rack that does fit both of your vehicles with the Yakima Fullback part # Y02634 which includes locks for the bikes and the rack but the Thule OutWay # TH45JV does not fit the BMW you have so it would not be the trunk rack for you.

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Audi A6
  • Yes, there is a trailer hitch available for your 2016 Audi A6. I recommend Curt trailer hitch # C11423. This is a Class I trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch.
