A multi-attachment trailer hitch features a shank for coupling with a receiver tube of a towing vehicle, and first and second hitch attachments of different size or type from one another movably carried on the shank by one or more supports. Each support is movably coupled to the shank for selective swiveling or rotation thereof about an upright axis to move one or more of said hitch attachments between a working position situated rearwardly beyond the rear end of the shank, and a storage position situated more forwardly than the working position. The one or more supports are movable into a full-storage state in which no hitch attachment occupies the working position, thereby eliminating or minimizing a rearward projection of the hitch from the rear of a towing vehicle to reduce or eliminating tripping or rear-end puncture hazards.
