What's my Towing Capacity?
The Audi A6 has an average towing capacity of around 2000KG to 2,100KG. This capacity is perfect for hitching a cycle carrier, trailer and up to a medium-sized caravan. We always advise to checking the weight of what you are planning to tow as overloading your towbar can result in damage to the vehicle, towbar and in extreme situations can cause the load to unhitch. To be able to check the towing capacity for your own Audi A6 please refer to the VIN plate that is located either under the bonnet or passenger door sill.
Which Towbar is best for my Audi A6?
There are three different towbars available for the Audi A6.
The fixed flange towbar is an excellent option for those who do not wish to remove the Towbar after they have finished towing, although the chunkier design is known for causing some interference from the rear parking sensors. The fixed flange towbar is great for pairing with towing accessories such as bumper protector plates and bolt on cycle carriers. The accessories use the bolt on plate at the rear of the towbar meaning the driver is able to use the accessories at the same time as towing.
The fixed swan neck towbar has a thinner towbar neck to the fixed flange towbar and therefore is less likely to be detected by parking sensors; however, this is not guaranteed. This is a great option for those who prefer a sleeker-looking towbar but do not want to remove it after towing is completed. The fixed swan neck is compatible with all ALKO stabilisers and can be used with all cycle carriers that clamp on to the towball.
The detachable swan neck towbar is the perfect choice for those who want to protect their vehicle's aesthetic. Once towing is completed, the towbar neck can be removed, and the Towbar will appear practically invisible. The towbar neck is removed by unlocking the neck and using a twist and push action. The detachable towbar is also compatible with all ALKO stabilisers and all clamp on style cycle carriers.
Will it need a bumper cut?
When fitting a towbar to the Audi A6 the bumper would need to be removed throughout fitment but will be refitted upon the completion. A small bumper cut is made to all the standard models of the Audi A6. The bumper cut will be made to the undertray of A6, and therefore will be invisible unless looking at the bumper face on.
