A plurality of reinforcement struts include mounting edges disposed in spaced relation to the mounting stub and adapted for welding to the trailer hitch tongue. A vertically elongated rectangular guide plate includes a plurality of pairs of aligned apertures spaced along opposite longitudinal edge portions. A longitudinally extending guide rib extends vertically along a front face of the guide plate. A stop block secured on a top edge of the guide plate overhangs the guide rib.
