A hitch assembly includes a support extendable into a receiver tube attached to a vehicle. A sleeve has a top end and a bottom end. A bracket is attached to the sleeve and is attached to the support to vertically orientate the sleeve. A piston is positioned in the sleeve and extends outwardly of the bottom end. The piston has a lower end that is moveable toward or away from the bottom end. An actuator is mounted on the sleeve and is mechanically coupled to the piston. The actuator is actuated in a first direction to lower the lower end and actuated in a second direction to raise the lower end. A ball mount is removably attached to the piston adjacent to the lower end. A hitch ball is attached to the ball mount and engages a hitch coupler of a trailer.
