Ideal for the rough rigors of off-road towing or overlanding, this fully articulating coupler pairs with a vehicle-side Lock N Roll hitch (sold separately) to form an extra-strong connection that is safe and secure, no matter the terrain.

Specs:
This coupler combines with a Lock 'N' Roll vehicle-end hitch (sold separately) to create a safe, secure, fully articulating connection that's great for towing whether you're on the road or off-road. It's more secure than a traditional ball coupler, and it's more comfortable and quieter than a pintle setup. The Lock 'N' Roll connects quickly and easily, and can adapt to any towing conditions.
When using a traditional ball coupler, it can be hard to tell if the coupler is fully latched around the ball. You can head out assuming the connection is secure, only to have the trailer pop off of the ball and disconnect while you're towing. With the Lock 'N' Roll, that won't happen.
This unique coupler is designed to interlock with a matching vehicle-side hitch to form a tight, secure connection. Unlike on a ball coupler, the latching components on the Lock 'N' Roll system are easy to see, so you can tell at a glance if the connection is secure.
Once secure, the Lock 'N' Roll setup offers a wide range of motion, which makes for a smooth ride. Because of the articulating action of the combined coupler and hitch, the Lock 'N' Roll connection can handle the harsh bumps and road shock that could otherwise stress and potentially damage a ball coupler.
The Lock 'N' Roll connection also makes your trailer less vulnerable to theft. Unlike a traditional ball coupler, which is compatible with any hitch ball of a matching size, the trailer-side Lock 'N' Roll coupler can only connect to a vehicle-side Lock 'N' Roll hitch. So your trailer cannot be towed away unless it's connected to a vehicle with a Lock 'N' Roll hitch installed.
With the Lock 'N' Roll, you can have peace of mind knowing your connection will not come apart or succumb to damage caused by road shock, nor will your trailer be vulnerable to theft.
The pintle hitch connection is the most common setup when towing off road because of the flexibility in the connection. But that flexible connection can also result in a lot of slop. This can cause uncomfortable jerking as well as rattle and noise. In addition, when using a pintle/lunette ring setup, it can be difficult to back up your vehicle and trailer without jackknifing. And it can be hard to disconnect at certain angles, which may be a necessity when overlanding.
The Lock 'N' Roll assembly, on the other hand, offers a close-fit, slop-free connection that's designed for off-roading. This close-fitting design provides a smoother ride than a pintle/lunette ring connection with less rattle. It also makes it easy to back your vehicle and trailer up without jackknifing.
With the trailer end and vehicle end combined, the Lock 'N' Roll setup also creates a fully articulating connection that's great for off-roading. The bearing that's built into the vehicle-end hitch allows for 360 degrees of rotation, which means that your trailer could actually roll all the way over and not take your vehicle with it. The connection also pivots side to side and up and down, making it easy to take rough trails without jarring your setup. This also allows for fast and easy disconnection, even at extreme angles.
Each Lock 'N' Roll setup requires 2 parts - a trailer end and a vehicle end. Together they create a strong, secure connection. To connect, just line up the trailer end and vehicle end together and place the outer metal tabs of the trailer-end coupler into the hooks on the vehicle-end hitch. Then fold the latching plates on the vehicle-end hitch down and secure them in place over the tabs using the pin and clip included with your vehicle-side hitch. With the latching plates secured, the Lock 'N' Roll assembly will stay firmly connected.
When the trailer-side coupler and vehicle-side hitch are secured together, they form an articulating assembly with 3 axes of directional motion. The uniquely designed bearing on the vehicle-side hitch allows the connection to rotate a full 360 degrees. The trailer-side coupler's hinge allows the connection to pivot to the left and to the right. And when the 2 sides are joined, the tabs will roll inside of the hooks so that the entire assembly can tilt up and down.
Towing with the Lock 'N' Roll is easy, and it gives you a connection that's both flexible and secure.

Ideal for the rough rigors of off-road towing or overlanding, this fully articulating coupler pairs with a vehicle-side Lock N Roll hitch (sold separately) to form an extra-strong connection that is safe and secure, no matter the terrain.This is a perfect solution for an articulated hitch system. As I’m building an overland style trailer system. Definitely recommend the Lock N Roll system!
10k miles both on and Offroad and I’m very impressed. The versatility it added to the trailer was well worth it. I can drag the trailer wherever i can drive my Jeep.
Amazing coupler for our offroad camper. Works perfectly!!
Some of the backroads we drive look more like a riverbed, and we worried about the twists and turns on our conventional hitch. The Lock N Roll hitch eliminates that worry. But the best part is the ease of hook-up. The Lock N Roll hitch is more forgiving in hook-up angle, and no more beating on the trailer mechanism to get it to grip the ball. Good heavy-duty product.
The articulating hitch system has worked great for my offroading needs. I've got a Rubicon and have no worries about taking my a Smittybuilt Scout trailer off the beaten path and finding some great dispersed camping spots.
This was fantastic customer service. The product shipped out swiftly and was delivered on time.
I definitely recommend etrailer.com
This is the best hitch! Super durable, easy to use and secure. Really well build solid. Is super heavy which shows the quality
Let me just tell you that I got rear ended while the hitch was on ….short story nothing happen to my car or the hitch just the actual piece that hold the hitch receiver, but the person that rear ended me, well….that’s a different story (check the photo of the hitch all intact and just the mount bend)
Customer service was amazing. Odelia took the time to help me find the right product for my Jeep. She was very friendly and patient with me reviewing the different options! I will return just because of her customer service.
The product itself was as advertised and is well made and easy to install. It was exactly as Odelia indicated. The best part is I also received it a day early, which gave me the time I needed to get it out on even though it was simple. I will shop here again!!! Thank you Odelia and etrailer!

I have to say it is one of my best purchases. I am an avid off reader and enjoy taking my Smitty trailer with pop up tent and under it on that trailer as I rock crawled. It worked perfectly!
hands down the best offroad system i have ever used, I would highly recommend this
Exceptional customer support. Fast ship ping.
This is just what I needed. I think it will work fine. I have the longer 15" version of this but it turned out to be a little too long. This should be perfect.
