What kinda trailer hitch is this?

It does a couple things. If you are ever 2" left or right of your hitch it is handy.
Usually when you pull straight forward it straightens out and locks.

Next thing is notice the barn doors on the back of the suburban?
Imagine loading stuff in and out of it with a 2" ball on top of a hitch hanging off there.
Granted I am made of steel and it wouldn't bother me, but for mortal men scraping your shin on that repeatedly would turn into a pretty crippling experience.
Let alone putting a nice big scratch in the screen of your tv as it slides down across it when your buddy says he has it, but really doesn't.

Swings out of the way so you don't bust you shins on the hitch:hysterical:

My first thought was that it was for some type of handicapped set-up - maybe for a wheelchair mount??

I've never seen anything like that before

Actually that is a very common hitch. You can buy it off the shelf and dealers.

It is just a class V hitch that swings out of the way. Nothing else special about it.
No advantage when towing with it.

In fact you can't tow with it unless it is locked in one position.

This correct...it is for the people who have a hrd time lining the ball up with the hitch of the trailer!!!! They have to be close though...
