Well, i'm about to buy my first car (highschool) and am torn between what i really want (Audi) and a small SUV (Passport).... Basically i would be buying an ATV soon to go riding with my friend in the Mountains (WA state) which is the only reason i'd get an SUV (light weight towing)...
But I thought i'd ask if any one knew if an Audi 90 Quattro could tow a Quad, or maybe just a dirtbike? (Can you even get a hitch for an Audi?)
It'd be ~1994 Quattro (4WD) with a 2.8L 172 hp, V6 engine... (5sp Manual)

Yes you can fit a tow hitch the Quattro is easily capable of towing a Quad .With regard to altitude the ecu of the Audi compensates for less dense air at high altitudes.Best regards Mick own and work on Audis.

the two hitch is about 300 pound and when you put the ATV it will be about 1200 - 1500 pounds from stop. the Audi has enough power to tow it but getting up to an elevation to where you can enjoy the ATV is another question. Plus look at the price of changing the brakes every few months and upgrading the suspension.

You'll be fine. I dont know how you're clutch will hold up tho. I have a 88 cadillac that weighs over 4,000 LBS with a 150 HP v8 engine that makes about 250 ft/lb of torque & I tow loads weighing up to 2,600 lbs. But thats on a paved road & pretty much a flat surface. On the other hand i've seen 4 cylinder Camrys pulling heavier loads. What for I dont know!

I do not recall if a audi hitch is available. www.uhaul.com
they are the largest hitch installer in the USA. you can look it up on their web site. I run car dealers and thats who we use.
The Uhaul site will tell you if a hitch is available and how much weight the car can tow.

Is a hitch for it even available? Do you have the owners manual?
It should have some info about towing. Max towing capacity, towing is OK, or not OK, etc.

not cautioned. autos could be towed with theirpersistent wheels off the floor except you have disconnected the driveshafts. Hiring a flatbed trailer may be much less complicated for short distances. in case you going long distance, get it transported, or have a palpersistent it (or the transferring truck, so which you canpersistent the Audi)
