Audi Allroad: the ultimate tow car?

[BC Paul]

I've bought and installed several North American hitches on a variety of vehicles and all of them were designed specifically for the vehicle. They bolted up without any modifications or fabrication of any kind. None of them were odd vehicles but the hitches were very specific. (Volkswagon Jetta, Ford Aerostar, Toyota Tacoma).

Must be a different model year Jetta... Ours required (if I remember correctly) seven holes to be drilled. None went into any existing holes. All of them bolted to sheet metal. It was better on the Scion xD, where it bolted to a tow hook on both sides, as well as six existing threaded holes. The Outback required drilling, but seems very secure. All of our trucks have been more straight forward... Even the Sprinter van, though it did require enlarging two of the existing holes.

Here's one of our VWs with a Curt hitch:





Here's the xD... Hard to see, but if you look carefully, you'll see where it bolts to the tow hooks on either side.
