    That is pretty odd.
    I wouldn't think of using an Rs4 to tow.
    CPT is going to be doing my alignment this week so maybe i'll get
    a chance to check that out.

    Re: Interesting.

    That's a great place for a hitch. You could tow your bike to the track and race both. Just one question, what does it look like when you aren't towing anything.

    Probably would be good for a small trailer for track tires and some tools, or as someone else said for a bike. However I would not tow that trailer in the pics.

    Re: Interesting.

    It's even got a trailer brake controller and stuff. I'm assuming they've worked up a way to snap the lower cover back on the bumper when they aren't towing a trailer. BTW, that's a huge ass trailer for a car, but if they are gonna tow it with a car, they chose the right one! The only candidate better would be the 09' RS6.

    Re: Interesting.

    I guess for towing items that occasionally get towed w/ a non-truck - S4 should do it no problem. I just lugged around 5 passengers weighing roughly 900 lbs in the rain for an hour and my passener commented, ur car is amazing in the rain. Confidence/security & performance felt by a passengers butt dyno - priceless!!!! Our cars rock. Maybe many of you have driven cars at this caliber for a duration but I drove a 350Z for years and the S4 was such an easy transition. Imo, the Z rocked!! But still short on several areas.

    Like Tek4ever says, items being towned that are 1000lb's or less shouldn't be a problem, but I would not start towing other, heavier things with this car.

    Huh, that is very interesting. That mod may be ideal for towing some smaller things like a couple of previous posters said.

    Re: Interesting.

    IMO, someone that can afford an RS4 can at least purchase a $5K tow vehicle. I doubt the suspension is ok to be loaded like that for a long period of time...
