ABSTRACT:
A hitch protector for a vehicle hitch for protecting the vehicle hitch from impacting and rubbing against the surface of a roadway. The hitch protector is end mountable on the receiving socket of the vehicle hitch and is retained by a retention pin. Blocks strategically located on the framework of the hitch protector prevent the hitch protector from pivoting about the retention pin and thus maintain the hitch protector in the installed position. A roller mounted on the framework of the hitch protector is positioned below the hitch upon installation and prevents the end of the hitch from coming into contact with the ground surface. Forces resulting from the roller contacting the ground surface are transmitted to the reinforced end of the receiving socket of the hitch.
