Abstract
A weight sensing vehicle hitch allows an operator to easily determine the load placed on the vehicle. The load sensor is permanently installed in the hitch. The weight sensing vehicle hitch has a hitch receiver tube and a load sensor connected to an actuator which has two positions, a first position in which the actuator and load sensor is not in contact with a bottom of the ball support and a second position in which the actuator and load sensor is raised into contact with the bottom of the ball support, using an actuator slide.
