ABSTRACT:
A heavy duty hinged bi-level hitch for mounting on a tubular bumper of a vehicle. The bi-level hitch includes an upper hitch assembly with an upper hitch ball. The upper hitch assembly is integrally formed in the center of the bumper. A lower hitch assembly is pivotally attached to the bottom of the bumper. By loosening a pair of bolts, the lower hitch assembly can be pivoted from a raised storage position underneath the vehicle to a lowered position directly below the upper hitch assembly. The bi-level hitch eliminates the need of lowering or modifying the bumper of a high axle vehicle and provides a low pull point for the vehicle.
