ABSTRACT:
A hitch system is described for a towing vehicle (e.g. a pickup truck) to enable the vehicle to tow a gooseneck trailer. The hitch system includes a mounting bracket to be attached to the frame of the vehicle, a sleeve secured to the mounting bracket and including a vertical slot in the wall and a second slot communicating with the vertical slot, a ball hitch which slides into the sleeve and including a pin which projects outwardly to be received in the vertical slot (after which the pin moves into the second slot when the ball is rotated), and a lock for preventing rotation of the ball when the pin is in the second slot. After the ball has been inserted into the sleeve and rotated, it is locked in position and will not come out during normal use of the hitch system.
