A trailer positioning apparatus for aiding in aligning a trailer with a tow vehicle is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a pinion plate which is attached to the landing gear of a trailer; and a rack plate for contacting the ground. The rack plate and pinion plate are pivotally attached at one end. At another end, a pinion engages a series of holes in the rack plate in order to create relative movement between the rack plate and the pinion plate when a force is applied by a user. The trailer may be moved into alignment with the tow vehicle, simplifying the process of attaching the trailer to the tow vehicle.
