Default Help needed with off road trailer build

I recently started my offroad trailer build. After endless searches to no success, I am trying to find any insight into a articulating trailer hitch/pintal
doo-hickey other than a standard ball hitch that will allow for rotation and awesomeness for dragging my anchor over some trails and mountain passes.
I appreciate any help!!

Default Max Coupler

I run the "MAX COUPLER" on my trailer and it works great!

I got mine from adventure trailers.

Dude, don't buy the Max Coupler, you can build it for less that 30 bucks and have the same look. I built mine for my adventure trailer I'm building and it works great.

This looks great, but will this articulate any more than a ball hitch? The trailer eye doesn't rotate.
