ABSTRACT:
A tow hitch comprised of an elongated shank of rectangular cross-section. The shank has four side surfaces. A first tow ball of a first dimension is fixedly mounted to a first of the side surfaces. A second tow ball of a second dimension is fixedly mounted to a second of the side surfaces. A third tow ball of a third dimension is fixedly mounted to a third of the side surfaces. The first and the third tow balls are on opposite side surfaces of the shank. A jaw is mounted to the shank for pivotal movement about an axis through the shank. The jaw has a ball-engaging surface, and is movable between a first position wherein the ball-engaging surface engages one of the tow balls and a second position wherein the ball-engaging surface is spaced from one of the tow balls.
