ABSTRACT:
A trailer hitch system (10) having longitudinal hitch ball movement whereby a trailer tow point can be laterally adjusted. The longitudinal hitch ball movement is facilitated by a screw shaft (20) housed in the trailer hitch system (10) and readily accessible from either side of the trailer hitch system (10). The trailer hitch system (10) may accommodate multiple hitch balls (22, 23) and allows any one of the hitch balls (22, 23) to be selectively centered on a bumper (82) of a towing vehicle. Hitch balls (22, 23) of diverse sizes may be interchanged while the trailer hitch system (10) is installed on the towing vehicle. The trailer hitch system (10) may be adapted to any type of towing vehicle. An adaptor (110) allows attachment of other types of hitches which are also laterally adjustable therewith.
