ABSTRACT:
A hitch assembly that includes a V-guide for directing a trailer tongue to a hitch ball on the hitch assembly so as to align a trailer tongue cup to the hitch ball. The hitch assembly includes guide wings pivotally mounted to a hitch post. When the guide wings are in the V-guide position, slideable rods on the guide wings are positioned behind the post to prevent the wings from pivoting. When the trailer is attached to the vehicle, the slideable rods are retracted so that the guide wings can pivot to a retracted position where the rods are slid into openings in the hitch post.
