A socket apparatus for connecting a towed vehicle to the hitch ball of a towing includes a socket member defining a socket configured to move downward onto the hitch ball. The socket member is adapted at a rear end thereof for attachrnent to the towed vehicle. A lock member is rotatably mounted to the socket member about a horizontal rotational axis oriented perpendicular to an operating travel direction of the towed vehicle, and extends from a first sidewall of the socket member to a second sidewall of the socket member rearward of the socket. When the hitch ball is engaged in the socket, the lock member is rotatable from a closed position securing the hitch ball in the socket, to an open position where the hitch ball is movable downward out of the socket. A securing mechanism is operative to selectively secure the lock member in the closed position.
