Abstract: A quick hitch coupling apparatus for coupling a trailer provided with a hitch coupler and a vehicle provided with a tow bar receiver channel, includes a hitch sleeve and a tow bar. The hitch sleeve is fit slidably over the receiver channel of the vehicle and is releasably secured thereto. The tow bar is releasably and pivotally connected to the hitch sleeve at one end, and is provided with a hitch ball at its opposite end. The hitch ball is moved laterally from side to side to the position the ball beneath the hitch coupler of the trailer. It may be necessary to move the tow vehicle forward or rearward a short distance to position the tow bar ball directly beneath the trailer coupling. The trailer is then connected to the hitch ball, and the vehicle is moved forward to straighten the connections between the vehicle, the tow bar, and the trailer.
