An aligning hitch device prevents a pin from being lifted inadvertently resulting in undesired disengagement of the hitch connection. The device includes a hitch frame including a guide plate. A hitch pin is slidably coupled to the hitch frame. An index collar has a notch. The hitch pin is slidable to fully clear a hitch space in the hitch frame only when the notch is aligned with and receives the guide plate. A biasing spring extends between the index collar and the hitch frame wherein the biasing spring urges the index collar away from the guide plate.
