[A4] Can I add a trailer hitch to my A4?

[Brian White]

Yeah BMW does that as well.  But go to Europe and they all have towing 
capacities in the manual and factory hitches available from the dealer.

For a small trailer, it's no problem.  Just don't expect to tow a big boat or 
another car or something (outside of a tow dolly)

But a strap on hitch?  What the heck is that?!?!?
