In order for a trailer hitch, comprising a pivot bearing unit mountable on a rear end portion of a vehicle body, in fixed relation to the vehicle, and a pivot element supported on the pivot bearing unit for pivotal movement about at least one pivot axis, said pivot element having fixedly connected thereto a ball neck carrying a hitch ball, said ball neck being pivotable, by pivoting the pivot element about the at least one pivot axis relative to the pivot bearing unit, between two final positions, one of which is an operating position and another one of which is a rest position, to be improved such that the location of the pivot element can be detected as simply and unambiguously as possible, it is proposed that a sensor system be provided for detecting at least one location of the pivot element relative to the pivot bearing unit with respect to the at least one pivot axis, which sensor system detects the locations of the pivot element relative to the pivot bearing unit mounted in fixed relation to the vehicle and generates position information representative of the respective location of the pivot element.
