What else do you call a trailer hitch?

A trailer hitch and a towbar are two different terms used to refer to the same thing. They are both devices that are mounted to a vehicle and used to connect a trailer or caravan to the vehicle for towing.

The terms "trailer hitch" and "towbar" are often used interchangeably, although "towbar" is more commonly used in the UK and "trailer hitch" is more commonly used in the US. The basic function of a trailer hitch or towbar is to provide a secure attachment point for the trailer, and to transfer the weight of the trailer to the vehicle so that it can be safely towed.

Trailer hitches and towbars come in a variety of types and sizes, depending on the towing capacity of the vehicle and the weight and type of trailer being towed. It is important to choose the right type of trailer hitch or towbar for your vehicle and trailer, and to follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation and use to ensure safe and reliable towing.
