How much of the Audi A5 towing capacity to use?
The best practice is the 80/20 rule, it is really popular, and there is a good reason for that. Towing at your Audi A5 max capacity is not good for your car's health. It will damage or prompt deterioration of the vehicle's engine, suspension, tires, brakes, and even the frame itself. That's why you can often encounter advice to only use around 80% of your maximum Audi A5 towing capacity. And our database will ensure you can easily stay within this safe limit.
How to know you do not exceed the Audi A5 towing capacity limit?
It is a relatively easy task, but only if you have all the information. For instance, you can always look up the towing capacity of the Audi A5 in our car information database. The next step is to figure out your trailer, camper, or other load's GTW. This specification includes your RV's own weight and the weight of everything aboard, and it should be less than your towing capacity value.
Signs you are towing too much for your Audi A5
If you are exceeding the Audi A5 towing capacity, the front or rear of the vehicle can sag disproportionately. Unpleasant things like bottoming out and premature shocks wear are also possible. Plus, you will feel the difference in steering and braking.
