A self-resetting coupler is provided for capturing a hitch ball. The coupler includes a pocket to receive the hitch ball and a lever to capture the hitch ball in the pocket. When the hitch ball enters the pocket, it moves the lever from a release position to a captured position. A locking pin is biased towards a locked position. Once moved to the captured position, the locking pin moves to a locked position, locking the lever in the captured position. To release the coupler, the user pulls the locking pin clear of the lever, where it is held clear. As the hitch ball is removed, the lever moves the locking pin to be in biased contact therewith so that when the hitch ball is re-inserted, the locking pin moves to the locked position once the hitch ball is located in the pocket.
A gooseneck ball extender is designed to mate with a center socket and receivers mounted to a towing vehicle and provide a gooseneck ball that is offset from the center socket. The extender has a cylindrical shaft with captured balls that can be moved between a retracted position and an extended position through a spring-loaded locking shaft that moves between an unlocked and locked position. The locking shaft is biased towards the locked position where the captured balls are extended. The extender has an outrigger portion that has puck locks. The puck locks are rotatable between a locked position and an unlocked position. As attached to the towing vehicle, the outrigger portion provides additional support to the gooseneck ball.

A coupler for a trailer is provided for capturing a hitch ball that is affixed to a towing vehicle. The coupler includes a hemisphere cylinder pocket to receive the hitch ball and a lever to capture the hitch ball. When the hitch ball enters the pocket, it moves the lever from a release position to a captured position. In either position, a portion of the lever protrudes into the pocket. A locking pin is biased against the lever. Once moved to the captured position, an aperture on the lever aligns with the locking pin and the locking pin extends through the locking pin, locking the lever in the captured position. To release the coupler, the user pulls the locking pin clear of the lever. The locking pin can be pulled clear with a manual release handle or an electrical actuator.

A reversible ramp adapted for use with a trailer or truck that has an elongate rigid structure with a hook on one end for a trailer and a lip on the opposite end for a truck. The lip has a curved portion that protrudes beyond the elongate rigid structure and terminates at an edge with a lip plane extending from the edge to a corner of the elongate rigid structure. The hook terminates at an edge with a hook plane extending from the edge to a corner on the other end of the elongate rigid structure. The hook plane is at a larger angle with respect to the elongate rigid structure compared to the lip plane. In use, the hook plane aligns with the ground when the lip end is on the truck. Likewise, the lip plane aligns with the ground when the hook end is on a trailer.

A hitch tightening pin system is designed to attach a draw bar to a hitch receiver tube and prevent relative motion between the draw bar and receiver tube. The pin system has an elongate tapered shoulder bolt that has a larger and smaller outer diameter with a tapered surface extending between the larger and smaller outer diameter. The system includes an expansion sleeve that has arcuate portions. The expansion sleeve can slide onto the smaller outer diameter with the arcuate portions facing the tapered surface. A nut tightens to move the arcuate portions radially outwardly to apply force to the inside surface of a draw bar. The application of force causes the draw bar to be held tightly to the receiver tube and reduce or eliminate looseness or rattling during use.

A torsion trailer coupler is affixed to a trailer between the tongue and an adjustable coupler. The torsion trailer coupler has a trailer side that affixes to the trailer and a coupler side that affixes to the adjustable coupler. The trailer side has torsion tubes that carry torsion bars and the coupler side has torsion tubes that carry torsion bars. The torsion bars between the trailer and coupler side are connected with torsion arms. The torsion trailer coupler moves between an unloaded position where the torsion bars and arms are at rest and a loaded position where force is applied between the sides and the torsion bars rotate about their central axes. The torsion bars, arms and sides cooperate to absorb transient forces between a towing vehicle and the tongue of the trailer.

A torsion receiver hitch is provided having a drawbar portion and a ball mount portion. The drawbar portion can affix to a towing vehicle and the ball mount portion can receive and affix a trailer. The drawbar portion is coupled to the ball mount portion with torsion arms that are affixed to torsion bars. The torsion bars are carried in corresponding torsion tubes affixed to the drawbar and ball mount portion. The ball mount portion can move with respect to the drawbar portion between a compression and tension position. The ball mount portion and drawbar portion remain parallel between the compression and tension position. Located between the compression and tension positions is a rest position. The rest position corresponds to no force being applied between the drawbar portion and ball mount portion.

A torsion gooseneck coupler has a pin box that is designed to be affixed to an existing trailer. The pin box has a pin box torsion end and a lower assembly that each have a corresponding torsion bar. The torsion bars extend outwardly where each affixes to a corresponding torsion arm. The lower assembly is designed to affix to a towing vehicle. The lower assembly has an upper and a lower torsion tube that each has a corresponding torsion bar. The upper torsion arm affixes the upper torsion bar of the pin box assembly to the upper torsion bar of the lower assembly. Correspondingly, a lower torsion arm affixes the lower torsion bars of the pin box assembly to the lower assembly. The torsion tubes and bars resist rotation and cooperate to allow limited movement and provide resistance to forces along the axes of the upper and lower assemblies.

A torsion hitch receiver is provided having a frame that has a portion that mounts to a vehicle. The frame includes an upper torsion tube that carries an upper torsion bar. Attached to the upper torsion tube is a torsion housing that affixes a lower torsion tube. The upper torsion bar has an upper torsion arm that rotates with the upper torsion bar, and a lower torsion bar, carried within the lower torsion tube, the lower torsion bar has lower torsion arms. Both upper and lower torsion arms attach to a receiver housing that can receive a draw bar. As weight is applied to the receiver housing, the torsion bars allow rotation. As the torsion bars rotate, the receiver housing moves up and down.
