Features to know about

Tow Small Loads Without Compromise: Class I Strength for Everyday Use

This hitch is built for light-duty towing and hauling, giving you dependable performance for small trailers, cargo carriers, or bike racks. It’s rated for a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 200 lbs, so it handles everyday gear without overkill. The 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver opening fits popular Class I accessories designed for lighter setups while keeping the hitch compact and easy to manage.

Easy Weekend Install: Bolt-On Design with Included Hardware

You don't need to weld or use any special shop tools to get this hitch on your vehicle. It bolts directly in place with the complete hardware kit that comes in the box. The precision, robotic welding helps everything line up right where it should for a clean fit you can trust. Whether you’re setting it up on your driveway or in your garage, the bolt-on design keeps the process straightforward.

Built to Last Through Every Season: Gloss Black Powder Coat Over Protective Base

The fully welded, square-tube steel construction is coated inside and out for long-term durability. A gloss black powder coat finish layered over a protective base coat gives it strong rust resistance and helps it look good year-round. The solid build and clean finish mean you’ll get a sturdy hitch that stays looking sharp even after plenty of miles on the road.

Ready for Your Gear: Works with Standard Ball Mounts and Accessories

With a visible cross tube design and standard 1-1/4" receiver opening, this hitch works well with typical Class I ball mounts, pins, and clips (sold separately). It’s perfect for adding small cargo carriers or towing light trailers when you need more utility from your vehicle.

It works well for my purposes! I bought it specifically to use with a rear hitch bike rack. It came fast, I installed in myself in an hour or so. Installation was straight forward, although it is definitely a tight fit. I actually used a floor jack to add a support while I got it snug and level. It's solid, doesn't seem to be going anywhere after a year. I've only used it to hold a bike rack and 2 bikes, so I can't say how strong it would be to pull a trailer. It mounts to the wheel well which I don't think would be solid enough to pull any real weight. That and the fact that the bulk of the hitch sits below the bumper are the reasons I don't give it 5 stars. Would be better if this were designed to conceal most of the hitch behind the bumper/bumper cover. I think there is space for it. That said it works well, wasn't expensive, arrived fast and it doesn't look bad.

Audi A4

I just put this hitch on a couple months ago and will say, love it. Etrailer makes installation easy with their YouTube videos and I lost the papers so I called them for the torque specs. I only use the hitch for a tray carrier Thule bike rack and I have 0 issues, I can even open my trunk with the bikes on the rack.
I would say the best part about Etrailer is value, high quality products, ease of installation and great customer service.
For those installing on an A4 take your time lining up the hitch, don't rush it. Taking my time, I was able to get the hitch almost completely level. I also used the silicone they recommended. I didn't have an angle drill, so I did drop the exhaust and it was easy from there. Good luck... And enjoy your new hitch, no more putting the bikes on the roof.

hitch, however, it took some time to get it 'just right'. To get it square on the car, I had to use a length of pipe in the hitch tube to 'wedge' the hitch into position. Since I was drilling holes into the spare tire well, I only wanted to do it once & get it right! Except for me being a little OCD to make sure it was perfect (wife's car), the installation was relatively straightforward. It is a tight fit, but I think this also helps insure a secure installation.
One thing you lose with this hitch is the towing eye, as it is used to mount the hitch to the car. I do wish Curt could come up with something that looks a little nicer than the silver metal plate. Painting it black or getting it powerdercoated to match the hitch would help.
The initial plan was only to use this hitch for a bike rack, but now I am thinking about getting a small cargo carrier and adding a trailer light kit to the car for hauling a small utility trailer.

Finally, etrailer.com is always great. Nothing but good things to say about them.

Hitch came quicker than I thought, which was great. I used the free shipping, so it was just ground. E-mails from etrailer.com kept me up to date on my order status. Very happy with the price.
Took a little jockeying to get the hitch to fit properly, but ended up coming out nice.

2005 Audi A4

I wanted to make sure anyone out there with a 2005 A4 Quattro Cabriolet knows this will fit. I was told it wouldn’t, but it fits great. I did a search comparing the rear undersides of the Cabriolet vs. the Sedan. They looked identical to me except I have those metal braces on mine, which never came into play at all. As mentioned in the description, I did have to make two small cuts in the lower facia to allow the rack to fit better. I may have been able to install it without those cuts, but it was pushing up a bit too much on the facia supports, so I decided better to make the cuts. They aren’t noticeable at all from above the car. I am happy the way it turned out. As sturdy as it does feel, I still plan on using straps to help minimize any stress on the well bolts even after being torqued to the vendors specs. I’ve used it once so far to carry my mtn bike. It has a 37lb rack on it carrying a 30lb mtn bike. It handled very well. Anyway, If you have a Quattro Cabriolet, look up the pics, if the rear ends look the same, it should fit fine. Take care.

from eTrailer. Both times (a year apart) they exceeded my expectations for knowledgeable, fast, friendly service...and they gave me an unexpected discount the 2nd time around.

If I owned another vehicle...guess where I would go for my bike rack?

by: Nathan Scott 09/01/2012

There were no issues with the receiver and build quality and finish were on par with a hitch of this cost. I would buy from etrailer again and in fact I have done just that.

a very thick coat of paint/powdercoat. Looks great on my car. Shipping was super fast and arrived earlier than expected, had to get this shipped to me while on a company trip and had a small window of time and they were great at shipping in out within an hour of placing my order. Customer service was very helpful in this order. Great company to do business with!!

Trailer Hitch Receiver That Is Confirmed To Fit a 2008 Audi A4 With Dual Exhaust
We do have a receiver that will fit your 2008 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro with the dual exhaust, as the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7389 has been confirmed by EcoHitch not to work with the dual exhaust. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 11164 is currently the only receiver currently available that will fit your Audi. I have linked an installation video done below on a older A4 that has the dual exhaust like yours.

What To Do If Bumper and Hitch Contact Each Other After Installation On 2008 Audi A4
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 11164 which is a fit for a 2008 Audi A4 does not require trimming. However, the fit around the lower part of the bumper fascia where it meets the frame brackets for the hitch can be tight and in some cases touching. If the parts are touching it would be a good idea to go ahead and make some small cuts to alleviate some pressure as this then puts more stress on the fasteners. That said, you most likely would not run into any issues if just left the...

I have also added two pictures that should be a helpful reference. As you can see,...

Recommended Hitch for 2005 Audi A4 Avant

Trailer Hitch for a 2008 Audi A4 Quattro Sedan
Yes, the trailer hitch that fits your 2008 Audi A4 Quattro sedan is the Curt Class-I # 11164. The maximum tongue weight is 200 pounds. Note, that all non-trailer loads such as bike racks, cargo carriers and more must be supported by stabilizing straps like # 18050. If not, you will void the hitch warranty from Curt.

If you compare the mounting flanges for these two hitches, parts # 11164 and # C11180, you will note that the mounting points for hitch # C11180 are vertical (meaning the bolts will be oriented in an up-down direction) while the hardware for hitch # 11164 installs to the spare tire well in a horizontal direction.
