Abstract: A vehicle alignment assistance device which enables a towing vehicle to be aligned with a trailer in such a manner that the towing ball at the rear of the vehicle will be vertically aligned with the towing socket attached to the trailer. A visible target is located at the forward end of an extendable rod located within a box to be attached to the front of the trailer. A sighting mark is located on the rear window of the towing vehicle. When the target-carrying member (rod) is extended from the box so that the target is in contact with the sighting mark on the towing vehicle, the towing socket will be vertically aligned with the towing ball. A driver of the vehicle backs the vehicle toward the trailer until the target carried at the end of the extended rod touches the sighting mark on the rear window. The rod can be pivotally mounted in the box, which can provide a waterproof storage for the rod when not in use as an alignment aid.
