A trailer coupler is described in which a pair of hitch capturing members, each include a hitch socket. The hitch sockets are movable relative to one another. A base member mounts the hitch capturing members for selective movement between a forwardly extended and open hitch receiving position and a rearwardly retracted and closed hitch capturing position. A hitch positioner member is movably mounted to the hitch capturing members and spans the hitch capturing members in the forwardly extended and open hitch receiving position. The hitch positioner member is movably positioned with respect to at least one of the hitch capturing members and is configured to move the hitch capturing members rearwardly in response to engagement by a rearwardly moving hitch. At least one cam surface on at least one of the hitch capturing members or base member is responsive to rearward motion of the hitch capturing members to close the hitch capturing members from the open hitch receiving position to the retracted hitch engaging position.
