A trailer hitch apparatus having a shank with a plurality of different sized tow balls mounted thereon, and at least one form of hitch hardware other than a tow ball. A tongue joined to the shank is received by a matching receiver on a towing vehicle, and secured therein by a pin. By suitably orienting the shank prior to engaging the tongue in the receiver, the tow ball of chosen size or the non-tow ball hitch is positioned to mate with a corresponding coupler on a trailer vehicle. In a first embodiment of the invention, a pintle and latch assembly are included on the shank. In a second embodiment of the invention, a vertical bar with a sleeve member slidably mounted thereon allows the shank to be positioned vertically. In a third embodiment of the apparatus a U-shaped hitch member is provided on the shank for coupling to a wagon tongue. In a fourth embodiment of the invention, a towing hook is included on the shank.
