Abstract

A crossbar is affixed to an anchor member having a draw bar pointing forward for engagement into a hitch socket of a pickup truck. The crossbar has a pivot bracket affixed to the mid-point thereof, and a pair of hinge pins affixed to both ends thereof. A pair of spaced-apart ramp members are affixed to the hinge pins for angular movement thereof perpendicular to the crossbar. A mast is also movably affixed to the pivot bracket for angular movement thereof perpendicular to the crossbar between the ramp members, between a vertical position and a position below the ramp members in the deployed mode. A hitch arm extends from the mast and has a hitch clamp thereon for engagement with a hitch ball on a transportable vehicle, for retaining the transportable vehicle to the mast, to the draw bar and to the hitch socket of a pickup truck.
