Ideal for the rigors of off-road towing or overlanding, this fully articulating straight-tongue 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.

Ratings & Reviews
So far it resolved the problem we had. You just need to be careful when driving at speeds over 50 miles if full, because the trailer will be able to move in all axles if a sudden move/turn from your wheel; though you can add sway bars. We are glad we bought it and we may buy another one.
The grease fitting was broken off had to replace it. All the mounting holes had to be reamed out the mounting bolts would not go through again easily fixed. Overall I would rate this 5 stars if I didn’t have to fix the issues
I installed this lock and roll hitch on my Overland camper that I built and it worked fantastic. I’ve taken this camper out onto our families cattle ranch here in Florida and I’ve been able to travel over very diverse to rain without any issues.
This piece is too long for the existing insert I have on my trailer, so the pin holes do not line up. I contacted customer service via email and Kylie replied stating you have no solutions for me. Very disappointing to spend $600 on a hitch setup and have to come up with my own modification to make it work.
I made the little camper trailer in the attached picture, and went with the Lock N Roll from the start. We've hauled it (off-road) everywhere from the San Juans in the Colorado Rockies to the Ozarks in Arkansas, the beaches of Padre Island National Seashore and the deserts of Big Bend without ever having to worry about the connection between the Jeep and the trailer. I love this hitch! We have them on 4 trailers now...all of which are pulled off-road in some pretty rough places and they perform exactly as described. No banging/clanging like a pintle, no binding, no problems at all.
Fast delivery time. Bought the Lock N Roll for both my trailers. Great quality coupler.
What insurance this hitch was to me. I took my jeep on the Rubican trail with my trailer and I roll my trailer twice. If it wasn’t for my Lock n Roll hitch, I would roll my jeep too. It works great.
Both connecting lock n roll products are a great addition to my project roof top tent, utility, kayak mounted, Solar energy equipped overland adventure trailer. Not only has my travel range increased due to this go anywhere upgrade, but my trailer security and its value has increased also. I am a very happy customer. So.e fab work may be necessary.
I spent a full season using this off-road articulating hitch on my off-road trailer. I definitely put it through the paces this fall when I did the rim rocker trail ending up in Moab. It did some pretty hard-core terrain and it worked flawlessly.
This was a plug and play system for me. Purchased both trailer and vehicle hitch. Took me 15min to install. The video's were very helpful since no dimensions are shown on any of the pictures. First road trip will be after Xmas 2024. Will follow up with more info later on.
Perfect fit, works great
Product delivered as described. Free shipping arrived as quickly as expected.

So far I've taken this across 7 states and it's been without problems. Though it's only been on mild off road trails and nothing technical.
Great Product, received in poorly shipped box. For the cost I paid for it I would think you would care more of handling my parts
I can’t believe the holes you drilled aren’t standard per your typical ball hitch tongue. Luckily I have a trailer hitch company that will drill to extend hole lower to meet standard specs.
This hitch system has been great. One thing I was very happy to see once I got it, was that there are grease fittings for all the articulating parts of the hitch. On side benefit is that I no longer have to worry about having an anti-theft system for the trailer. Unless you have the matching draw bar, no one is going to be able to drive off with your trailer unless they have a flat bed with them.

The hitch has been working well with no complaints. One thing I started doing after starting to get some wear on the pins that lock into the draw bar is to grease the contact points. There wasnt a huger amount of wear but bare metal was starting to show through.
This is a great hitch. So far I've only taken it out for a couple test runs but I have no doubt it will stand the test of time. I did have to modify it slightly on the trailer end and remove some material to get it to work with my setup but it wasn't hard.

Yeah between different brands and different accessories there can be slight tolerance differences. Glad you were able to handle it and get it to fit :) What will you be pulling with it?

One year out and 1000s of miles later just as good as the day I installed it.
