Abstract: A device that mounts into a vehicle's hitch receiver on a first end and providing a hitch ball on a second end also having a winch disposed between the first and second end. The winch is preferably removable from the balance of the device for ease of installation, transport and security. When in use, the winch may be locked in any of several predetermined angles relative to the hitch receiver so that the force of the winch may be directed in an advantageous direction. In a variation, a guide is provided so that the winch may be more easily used to guide a trailer onto the hitch ball. Generally the winch and hitch feature may be used independently of each other or used together.
