There is. Tractors for semitrailers have a fifth wheel, of course. That's the 90mm size. There's a smaller 50mm size used for RV trailers. The hitch for that bolts into the truck bed.

Yes, but no. The thing is I don't want to give up the bed of my truck in order to hitch. I use the truck as a truck when it isn't attached to the trailer.

So something more in line with the rail car system is in order.
