Abstract: A Telescoping and Articulated Trailer Hitch Assembly has a telescope extension tube (18) which slidably receives a trailer hitch extension (10). The trailer hitch extension (10) is rotatably affixed to a trailer hitch ball assembly (12) by a pivot pin (14). The pivot pin (14) has a diameter and is pivotally received by at least one outwardly extending upper pivot pin receiver having a pivot pin aperture (60) and by at least one outwardly extending lower counterbore receiver having a counterbore (64). The at least one upper pivot pin aperture (60) and the at least one lower counterbore (64) have an inside diameter greater than the pivot pin (14). The at least one lower counterbore (64) is penetrated, at the bottom, by an access aperture (66) which allows upward force to be applied to the pivot pin (14) for ease of removal and replacement of the trailer hitch ball assembly (12) with a different hitch style.
