A fifth wheel hitch is adapted to affix to a vehicle having a vehicle-mounted ball that protrudes from towing vehicle surface. The hitch has a frame with a sleeve portion that is fixed with respect to the frame and a receiver is telescopingly received inside the sleeve portion. The receiver is selectively affixed to the frame with a pin that extends through the receiver and sleeve portion. A ball cage affixes to the vehicle-mounted ball using pins that extend through vertical walls in the cage. The cage includes a threaded fastener that extends outwardly. The frame has an elongate aperture that receives the threaded fastener to secure the ball cage with a nut into a cage pocket. An optional lock overlays the nut with a nut locking aperture that prevents the nut from rotating.
