Your 2008 Audi A4 sedan has a Class I hitch receiver available in the Curt # 11164. For a Class I hitch, we have 3 adapters available, but you will want to make sure you stay within the capacity of your hitch receiver and using an adapter like this will cut your tongue weight capacity by 50%.

Here are the adapter options I recommend that are compatible with a Class I hitch receiver:
Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD. This adapter measures 7-1/4 inches from pin hole to pin hole.
Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver with 5" Rise # HT5R. This extends your hitch 7 inches.
Hitch Extender For 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver 6" # HES6. This extends your hitch 6 inches.

Answer 6

There is a trailer hitch receiver option for your 2002 Audi A4 wagon, but only a 1-1/4, Class I hitch, as there were no 2 inch hitches ever made to fit this vehicle. So while you can add a hitch, it does have to be the 1-1/4 inch, Class I hitch from…
