Function

• Magnetic trailer hitch guides usually consist of two guides that attach to your hitch and your trailer by means of magnets. You can see both guides through your back window or in your rear-view mirror.
  
  

Types

• Some magnetic trailer hitch guides consist of two long antenna-like pieces with a high-visibility coating. Others are telescopic, letting you adjust the height and collapse them when they are not in use. These use balls or circles of high-visibility material for the visual guides.
  
  

Benefits

• Magnetic trailer hitch guides provide a clear visual indication of how close your hitch is to your trailer, letting you gauge more precisely when your car or truck is lined up properly. Because you can see the high-visibility guides from your driver's seat, you don't have to get out of your car. The magnetic bases allow you to position and remove the guides easily.
