ball hitch

Towing sphere mount

A ball hitch is a type of trailer coupling consisting of a metal ball mounted on a vehicle's frame or bumper that fits into a socket on the trailer tongue.

The ball-and-socket design allows pivoting during turns while maintaining a secure connection: We need a two-inch ball hitch for the boat trailer.

Also called a hitch ball or trailer ball.
