Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods for docking vehicles for towing are disclosed herein. An example docking assembly for a vehicle includes a mounting interface to be coupled to the vehicle, an interface component rotatably coupled to the mounting interface at a joint defining an axis, the interface component to be coupled to a corresponding interface component on another vehicle, and a compliance mechanism. The compliance mechanism is operable between: a first mode in which the interface component is locked from rotating about the axis; a second mode in which the interface component is rotatable about the axis and biased to a central position; and a third mode in which the interface component is freely rotatable about the axis.
