The hitch-locating device has a telescopic stem to which a pedestal is attached at one end and a light is attached at the opposite end. Two such devices are used in conjunction with a hitching assembly having a hitch-cap at the front end of a trailer and a ball connected to a tongue which extends to the rear of a towing vehicle. A magnet is located in each pedestal for removably attaching one hitch-locating device to or adjacent to the ball and the other to or adjacent to the hitch-cap. In use, the devices are placed on or adjacent to the hitch-cap and the ball and the vehicle is backed toward the trailer. The driver of the vehicle watches the two hitch-locating devices in his rear view mirror and he steers the vehicle in order to bring the two devices into alignment. When the vehicle reaches the trailer, one of the devices will be knocked over, either by the tongue at the rear of the vehicle or by the front end of the trailer. When the driver observes this, he will know that the hitch-cap and the ball are in position to be interconnected.
