A retainer plate is mounted against the sleeve and pivotable about the pivot pin between a first position clear of the hitch pin and a second position blocking the hitch pin from withdrawal from the hitch connection. Stops are provided on both the tongue and the plate and a spring biases the stops together, in which position the plate is disposed above the hitch pin to lock it in the hitch.
