I've never seen a 4kq towing anything, but Blau sells the hitches for the 4k
and many other Audis; they may have experience with them and could give
advise on reasonable load. I'm thinking about getting one myself, but would
not tow more than a motorcycle or two. Obviously, expect greater clutch
wear, especially if towing >800-1000 lbs. (trailer + load).
