Patent ID: 8827299

Claim:
A trailer attachment guide assembly in combination with a vehicle, comprising: a vehicle comprising a pickup truck including a vehicle bed and a pair of lateral walls extending upwardly from said vehicle bed, said lateral walls being positioned opposite of each other, said lateral walls being spaced from each other, each of said lateral walls having a longitudinal axis and an upper surface; a rod having a first end and a second end, said rod being selectively telescopically extendable along a longitudinal axis extending through said first and second ends whereby said rod is positioned over said vehicle bed such that said rod is further positioned over said upper edges of said lateral walls of said vehicle bed; a guide post having a bottom end pivotally coupled to said rod, said guide post being selectively positionable in a deployed position extending upwardly from said rod, whereby said guide post is viewable from a cabin of the vehicle, said guide post having a top end positioned opposite of said bottom end, said top and bottom ends defining terminal ends of said guide post, said guide post being linear from said top end to said bottom end, said post being completely positioned above said upper surfaces when said rod is positioned above said upper surfaces; and a pair of mounting members, each of said mounting members being elongated and tubular shaped, each of said mounting members having a primary end and a secondary end, each of said mounting members being coupled to an associated one of said first and second ends of said rod, each of said mounting members having a longitudinal axis being oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said rod, each of said mounting members being oriented parallel to each other, each of said mounting members abutting said upper surface of an associated one of the lateral walls of the vehicle bed such that said respective longitudinal axis of each of said mounting members is parallel to said associated longitudinal axis of said lateral walls to retain said rod above the lateral walls of the vehicle bed.
