Abstract

The above shortcomings of existing trailer hitches are addressed in this disclosure. The trailer hitch alignment guide is a device that: 1) provides visible feedback to drivers of vehicles regarding the relative position of the vehicle and the trailer; and 2) provides a visual and audible signal when the vehicle is in the proper position relative to the trailer. The trailer hitch alignment guide comprises a guide and a target.
