[V8] Trailer hitch

[Kneale Brownson]

Your owner manual for the V8 says maximum trailer weight for an unbraked trailer is just over 1600 pounds, I believe, with a maximum tongue weight of just over 150 pounds.  Put brakes on the trailer and Audi says you can go up to 2000 pounds.  I think the main concern is the ability of the car's brakes to handle the weight, not the drivetrain's ability to pull the weight.
   
  Make sure you get a V8-specific (or 200q20v) model hitch.  Otherwise you'll have to mess up the rear muffler.  You also have to cut off the fixture into which your tow hook threads because it obstructs where the hitch would get mounted to the frame rail.

  I was thinking about putting a trailer hitch on my 1990 v8 to tow my boat this summer. I was wondering if anyone does any towing with these cars. What is the towing limits. And where car i get a hitch for my car. The boat is a 16 ft ski boat.
