A trailer hitch with hold-down retainer is a device used to prevent a trailer from separating from a vehicle to which the trailer is attached. The device includes an elongated mounting arm that is inserted into a trailer hitch receiver. The device includes a ball platform that is joined to the elongated mounting arm by a connector arm. A hitch ball is mounted to the ball platform and serves as a mounting point for a trailer coupler to be attached to the present invention. A retainer assembly featuring a hold-down is utilized to physically prevent the trailer coupler from separating from the hitch ball. The hold-down is offset from the hitch ball by a specified distance, enabling the hold-down to secure the trailer coupler in place.
