Abstract

This invention relates to the field of transportation and more particularly to a vehicle accessory for towing and maneuvering trailers. An adjustable trailer hitch is provided which allows the hitch ball of a towing vehicle to be easily raised from a towing position to a loading/unloading position. The hitch ball is attached to a receiver assembly which slides vertically in a guide. The guide includes a tailpiece which can be inserted into a socket extending from the towing vehicle. At the top of the guide is positioned a winch, the cable from which is attached to the receiver assembly. Using the present invention, it possible to easily raise the ball on the towing vehicle by simply engaging the winch. In the loading/unloading position the rear end of the trailer is near the ground to facilitate movement of a payload on or off the trailer.
