An articulating hitch is fitted to a standard receiver on a towing vehicle, with the hitch having a fixed portion mating with the towing vehicle receiver, the hitch is capable of being unlocked or locked. In the unlocked position, an intermediate link and ball mount link can be pivoted with respect to the fixed portion to allow a trailer to be connected without having to exactly locate the trailer. The ball mount link can receive a hitch ball to couple the trailer. In the unlocked position, the hitch ball can be moved and coupled to an adjacent trailer. Once coupled, the vehicle and trailer are brought together to collapse the mechanism where it can be locked. The vehicle can tow normally in the locked position.
