The steerable coupling linkage (106) is for use between a compact pulling apparatus (100) and a hauled unit (102) to form an articulated vehicle (104). It includes a yaw pivot mount, a roll pivot mount and pitch pivot mount that are sequentially disposed between the front end of a casing (140) and the apparatus (100). It also includes a semi-spherical towing ball (134) projecting upwards from a top outer surface (141) at the front end of the casing (140). A transversally-extending drawbar clamping assembly (142) is provided on the casing (140) to removable affix the drawbar (130) of the hauled unit (102) on the casing (140) when ball (134) is secured inside the trailer hitch (132). A steering actuator (160) is provided inside the casing (140) to selectively control a relative angular position of the casing (140) with reference to the apparatus (100) about the yaw axis (150), thereby allowing the articulated vehicle (104) to be steered.
