ABSTRACT:
A trailer hitch carriage connected to a towing vehicle and coupled to a trailer to reduce the downward trailer load carried by the towing vehicle. The trailer hitch carriage includes a frame mounted on wheels with the trailer being coupled to the frame at a predetermined location forwardly of the wheels so that the hitch carriage carries a portion of the trailer load. The trailer hitch carriage, in addition to reducing the downward trailer load carried by the towing vehicle, stabilizes the trailer against side forces generated by air turbulence formed by passing vehicles or crosswinds.
