Abstract: The present invention relates to a drawbar assembly for interconnecting a vehicle such as trailer, to another vehicle, such a motor vehicle. The drawbar assembly includes a drawbar beam that pivots upward and downwardly and has a coupling portion at an outer end that interconnects to a co-operating coupling portion. The drawbar beam also has a force exerting mechanism, such as a torsion spring that is operable to support the drawbar beam unassisted (i.e., without manual assistance) in the lowered operative position to facilitate the coupling portion being hitched. The present invention also relates to a vehicle having the drawbar assembly fitted thereto.
