A hitch assembly for connecting a towed vehicle to a towing vehicle having a pair of longitudinally extending frame portions. The hitch assembly is attachable to a selected vehicle of a group of towing vehicles having frame portions spaced apart a variety of different widths. The hitch assembly includes a pair of end members. Each end member has an attachment connectable with a respective frame portion of the towing vehicle and a support fixed to the attachment. Each attachment has a plurality of elongate openings each for receiving a fastener to attach its end member to the frame portion of the towing vehicle. At least one of the attachment elongate openings in each attachment extends in a direction parallel to the support. At least one of the elongate transverse openings extends in a direction perpendicular to the support. The support has at least one elongate transverse opening extending in a direction parallel to the length of the support and a transverse circular opening. An intermediate member defining a longitudinally extending opening. The intermediate member opening receives a support of a respective end member in a telescoping relationship. The intermediate member has a length less than the smallest width between frame portions of the numerous towing vehicles. The intermediate member includes at least one transverse opening which extends transversely through a portion of said intermediate member to receive a fastener extending through a traverse opening in the support to connect the intermediate member to the support.
