An automated system is provided for aligning a vehicle tow ball with a tow cup of a trailer. The vehicle has a controller connected to at least some of the vehicle steering, transmission and braking systems to enable the controller automatically to steer and/or move and/or brake the vehicle. Sensors at the rear of the vehicle detect the presence of an object within a region behind the vehicle. The sensors are connected to the controller to utilize the data from the sensors to identify the tow cup of a trailer located within the region behind the vehicle, and to control the reversing of the vehicle in order to bring the tow ball into alignment beneath the identified tow cup so as to facilitate coupling of the tow cup onto the tow ball.
