A coupling for coupling a towed vehicle to a towing vehicle is described. One embodiment of the coupling is a self-actuating coupling which includes: a towball receiver body including a receiver void disposed within the towball receiver body, the receiver void including one or more internal walls for cooperating with a towball; a locking element disposed within the towball receiver body, the locking element movable between a stowed position in which the locking element allows the towball to move freely in and out of the receiver void, and a deployed position in which the locking element extends into the receiver void to inhibit movement of the towball out of the void; and a lock actuation assembly operatively connected with the locking element and including a lock self actuator comprising a distal end, the lock self-actuator being movable between a standby position and an actuation position, wherein the lock actuation assembly includes a biasing means operatively connected to the lock self-actuator to bias the distal end into the receiver void so that when a towball is received into the receiver void the lock self-actuator is driven by the towball against the bias to an actuation position to move the locking element between the stowed position and the deployed position.
