A system configured for use with a vehicle includes a trailer connection mechanism configured to be mounted on the vehicle and including a release actuator configured to release the connection between the trailer connection mechanism and a trailer, a release assembly connected to the release actuator and configured to cause the release actuator to release the connection between the trailer connection mechanism and the trailer upon receiving user input, and an anti-release mechanism connected to the trailer connection mechanism. The anti-release mechanism is configured to detect statuses of a transmission and a brake system of the vehicle, and to selectively permit or prevent operation of the release actuator to release the connection between the trailer connection mechanism and the trailer based on the status of at least one of the brake system and the transmission.
