The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7324 which is a fit for a 2015 Audi Allroad is rated for 300 lbs of tongue weight which is the downward force on the receiver tube and 2,000 lbs gross trailer weight which is how much the trailer hitch can pull. I cannot recommend that you exceed any of these figures. The total loaded weight of the trailer cannot exceed the gross trailer weight of the hitch or vehicle, whichever is lower.

Therefore you will need to adjust the weight of your trailer to meet both of the above guidelines or proceed at your own risk. The other option for a 2015 Audi Allroad is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11195 which is also only rated for 2,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 200 lbs of tongue weight.

In order to complete your towing setup, you can use the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 119250KIT which is a splice free option or the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C59236 which requires splicing. The Ball Mount Kit part # 989900 would be all that is left if using the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver.
