Abstract: At least one embodiment of the inventive technology may be a ball hitch coupler apparatus that include a housing, an upward ball movement obstructor; a rotatable rod, and a rod biaser established so as to bias the rotatable rod towards a terminal, rod rotation position. The rotatable rod may define a spatial recess that, upon appropriate positioning, may allow for passage of a ball of a ball hitch so that, upon subsequent reconfiguration of the rotatable rod, the ball may be captured, resulting in a coupling needed for, e.g., towing.
