Systems and methods for docking vehicles for towing are disclosed herein. An example docking system to mechanically couple a first vehicle and a second vehicle includes a first docking assembly and a second docking assembly. The first docking assembly includes a first mounting interface to be coupled to the first vehicle and a receiver rotatably coupled to the first mounting interface to enable the receiver to rotate about a pitch axis relative to the first vehicle. The receiver defines an opening. The second docking assembly includes a second mounting interface to be coupled to the second vehicle and a plug to be inserted into the opening of the receiver. The plug is rotatably coupled the second mounting interface to enable the plug to rotate about a yaw axis relative to the second vehicle and rotate about a roll axis relative to the second vehicle.
