Presented is an automatic trailer hitch for enabling removable coupling between a towing vehicle and a towed vehicle. The automatic trailer hitch includes a base module, a vertical climbing module, linchpin modules configured for selectively driving the linchpins in an engaged position and a disengaged position, and a rotation module. The vertical climbing module is configured to vertically displace a hitch along a single axis. The plurality of linchpin modules is configured for selectively driving the linchpins in an engaged position and a disengaged position. A controller module is operatively coupled to each of the vertical climbing module, the linchpin modules, and the rotation module to monitor and control the multiple-axis position adjustment of the hitch(s) of the automatic trailer hitch.
