When the trailer is attached to the automobile, the two hitch halves interlock. A locking rod is inserted horizontally to cause the hitch to act as a single unit. Horizontal rotation is prevented, but the trailer is able to pivot vertically around the locking rod to compensate for the trailer going over bumps in the road.
