A hitch system for hitching a trailer to a pulling vehicle having a ball mount and wherein the trailer includes a ball-accepting coupler includes a sleeve member which defines an elongated guideway having two opposite ends and which is supported by the trailer in an angular relationship with respect to the horizontal. The hitch system also includes a V-shaped adapter having a first portion which cooperates with the guideway for movement between the opposite ends thereof and a second portion which is adapted to support a ball-accepting coupler so that by securing the ball-accepting coupler to the second portion of the adapter and moving the first portion of the adapter along the length of the guideway, the ball-accepting coupler can be positioned at any of a number of alternative horizontal levels relative to the ball mount to facilitate the coupling of the ball-accepting coupler to the ball mount.
