Hitch to take advantage of entire towing capacity (2100 kg)

[KurTecH]

Is anyone aware of a hitch solution for the RS6 that is able to take advantage of the entire 2100 kgs (4629 lbs) of towing capacity?
I believe the stealth hitch is only rated to tow 3500 lbs.

I'd love to tow my S2000 to the track with my RS6 come track season...

Looking for Hitch options as well.

You can retrofit the factory hitch. It's on the pricey side but it is slick.

Fellow RS6 and S2k owner here as well!

Factory hitch is available and will tow the full capacity but it is somewhat limited by the tongue weight. This means for towing heavier items you want a lightweight trailer and to balance the load properly. Obviously trailer brakes are certainly advised and there are some nice wireless systems that can be installed. Note that the ball is 50mm ball which in experience works with 2" trailers with a bit of a tighten on the latching mechanism and can also obviously be run with a 50mm EU style tongue as well.

Nice addition is it's fully hidden with an electronic unlocking mechanism:

There's a fair number of RS6 and A6 allroad owners in North America now running these. Even '24+ models which have become a bit of a pain to get sorted coding wise.

If anyone has questions on this hitch or anything else don't hesitate to email over as notifications from AZ have been super spotty lately and may not see questions here immediately: [email protected]

Do you have installation instructions available for this hitch? I'd like to look over the instructions prior to making a purchase.
Thanks!

Is there a hitch with just a female end??
Looking to install a bike hitch rack.

Here is a link to the stealth hitch...

the only issue with this hitch for me is it doesn't allow for the total towing capacity of the RS6, but it will do a bike rack just fine.
