The trailer hitch system may further include a ground plate configured to contact the trailer coupler for forming a continuous ground connection between the tow vehicle and the trailer. The trailer hitch system may further include a ball hitch adapter configured to couple to a hitch receiver and electrically connect to the ball hitch for grounding the ball hitch to the tow vehicle and/or supplying power to the power through ball hitch.
