A trailer tongue assembly includes a tongue body, a ball clamp, an actuating device, and a control unit. The tongue body is coupled to a frame and includes a ball socket that defines a socket volume. The ball clamp is located within the tongue body and translates internally within the tongue body so as to selectively protrude into and out of the socket volume. The actuating device is in communication with the ball clamp and is configured to position the ball clamp within the socket volume. The control unit is in communication with the actuating device and is configured to regulate the operation of the actuating device. In all, the tongue body surrounds the ball clamp, the actuating device and the control unit.
