The hitch comprises a latch and an actuator. The latch is positionable between open and closed positions. The actuator is positionable between retracted, intermediate, and extended positions, and is configured to position the latch into the open position when the actuator is in the extended position, position the latch into the closed position when the actuator is in the retracted position, and permit movement of the latch between the open position and the closed position when the actuator is in the intermediate position. The hitch controller is configured to position the actuator between the retracted position, the intermediate position, and the extended position.",
