Zusammenfassung:A coupling assembly couples a towed implement having a tongue to a vehicle having a pickup hitch. The coupling assembly includes a coupler manifold which is mounted to the vehicle and which supports vehicle couplers. An implement coupler frame is attached to the tongue, and an implement plate is movably coupled to the implement coupler frame. The implement plate supports implement couplers for mating engagement with the vehicle couplers. The manifold is engagable with the implement plate. Spring members are biased to urge the implement plate towards the manifold.
