ABSTRACT:
Described is a system, device and method for coupling of a towing vehicle to a trailer or other towed item. A skid plate provides a surface on which a tongue of the towed item slides toward alignment over a hitch such as a hitch ball or pintle hook. The tongue, when approaching the correct location, impacts a latch. Movement of the latch facilitates movement of the skid plate downward, out of the way of the tongue. The skid plate automatically drops or tilts below the level of the hitch. The tongue of the trailer then drops onto, engages, or couples to the hitch.
