• What Does Trailer Hitch Look Like Installed on 2016 Audi A6
  I attached a picture that shows what the Curt hitch part # C11423 looks like installed on a 2016 Audi A6 like yours. This will most likely take right at an hour for a shop to install so most likely you'd get charged one shop hour. If you need a bike rack my favorite is the Saris SuperClamp EX part # SA4025F because it's a platform bike rack which means it's easy to load/unload, it's light weight at only 35 lbs, it's made in the USA, and it only touches the bikes at the tires.

• Is a Stabilizer Strap Needed for the Class III Curt Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Subaru Forester
  The Class III Curt Trailer Hitch # C13144 does require the use of a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 to comply with the warranty. Instead of going with the Curt option I recommend using the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch # e98839 or the Draw-Tite # 75876 which give you a Class III trailer hitch with a 2" receiver as well. Neither of these trailer hitches require the use of a stabilizer strap and they are confirmed to fit your 2015 Subaru Forester. If you are still needing a 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.

• Ground Clearance of Curt Trailer Hitch On 2015 Audi A6
  The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11423 while installed on a 2015 Audi A6 will provide around 7-1/2" of ground clearance. This will be fine for most hitch mounted accessories like bike racks but for cargo carriers you'll want to look for options with a built-in rise. In regards to towing, it should not be a problem but it really comes down to several other factors so it's hard to say. That said, there really isn't anything you can do to increase this so just keep that in mind when...

• 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...

• Will the Curt Trailer Hitch C11423 Fit a 2018 Audi A6
  What is the purpose for the trailer hitch on your 2018 Audi A6? If it is to tow a trailer then this is not something we can offer as they do not make a trailer hitch that is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Audi A6 which includes the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11423. If the purpose of the trailer hitch was to carry bikes on a hitch mounted bike rack then you could use a trunk mount bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack for Vehicles w/ Spoilers part # HRF2-3...

• Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2014 Audi A6
  We do not carry a custom wiring kit for your 2014 Audi A6. I recommend using the ZCI Circuit Protected Wiring Harness # 119250KIT on your Audi. This is a universal harness that does not require any splicing. Instead, it uses sensors that clamp around the car's wires to read the current that travels through the wire. I've attached an install video for you to take a look at. If you don't already have a htich reciever on your A6, the Curt # C11423 is a Class I receiver confirmed to fit....

• Does Curt Hitch C11423 for 2015 Audi A6 Require Fascia Trimming for Installation
  The light-duty Curt Class I hitch you referenced, part # C11423 for the 2015 Audi A6, does require some minor fascia trimming. I understand that since you are leasing the car you clearly do not want any issues when its time to turn it back in. You could simply remove the rear fascia and keep it until its time to return the vehicle. It is held on by 3 screws. I realize this may not be the most pleasing idea for aesthetic reasons but it does avoid the issue of having to deal with returning...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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.

• Can the Thule OutWay Be Used for One 40 Lb Bike on a 2016 Audi A6
  I do have an option for you but all trunk mounted bike racks like the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack part # TH65JV have a 33 lb per bike weight capacity. The cradles for each bike are only rated for 33 lbs so I cannot recommend you use it with a 40 lb bike. If you cannot get the weight of your bike down to 35 lbs then your best option would be to place it on a hitch mounted bike rack, the Kuat Transfer 1 Bike Platform Rack part # KU64FR with a trailer hitch, the Curt Trailer Hitch...

• Does Support Strap Have to Be Used When Carrying Bike Rack with Curt Hitch # C11423
  I'll be the first to admit that the stabilizer strap requirement for Curt hitches like the part # C11423 is a hassle that most wish was avoidable. If you have the strap tight enough that it's damaging the vehicle then you'd want to back of the tightness to prevent that. Now if you had the strap reasonably tight but the rack bounced so hard that it damaged the hatch then the strap did it's job as it prevented the shock from damaging the frame of the vehicle. We have to recommend you use...

• Purpose of Curt Stabilizing Strap # 18050
  In order to satisfy Curt warranty requirements, any of their Class I or II receivers (like the C11423 you referenced) as well as a few of their Class III hitches must be used with a stabilizing strap like part # 18050. This applies to any non-trailer loads like a bike rack or cargo carrier. Curt has this warranty provision because of the lower tongue weight capacities of Class I and II hitches. The strap prevents any bouncing of the bike rack or other hitch mounted accessory from damaging...

• Bike Rack Recommendation that Allows Trunk to Open with 2012 Audi A6
  You will not be able to open the trunk of your 2012 Audi A6 with a trunk rack like the Saris Bones part # SA805BL installed. The hinges aren't rated for the additional weight and the struts won't hold the trunk up either so it would come slamming down which would be dangerous, plus the clips that go over the trunk would get pinched as the trunk opens. Only option is a hitch mounted bike rack which first requires a hitch like the part # C11423 to be installed. The most popular bike rack...
