Apparatus for connecting a trailer 20 to a vehicle for towing. The apparatus comprises: a vehicle-trailer coupling including a vehicle coupling 1a and a trailer coupling 1b and having a vertical centreline X; and a switchable yaw pivot 2. The switchable yaw pivot 2 is switchable between locked and unlocked positions. In the unlocked position movement of one part 3 of the apparatus relative to a remaining part of the apparatus about the switchable yaw pivot 2 is permitted in order to align the vehicle coupling 1a with the trailer coupling 1b to assist with coupling. In the locked position movement about the switchable yaw pivot 2 is not permitted after coupling and once the vehicle and trailer are aligned. When the switchable yaw pivot is locked, relative yaw movement between the vehicle and the trailer is only possible about the virtual yaw pivot Y.
