I saw an older TM in Tennessee that could be made shorter, but it did not have a swing-away tongue. Its owner had purchased it used, and it was like that when he bought it.

Instead of being triangular, the tongue was trapezoidal, with a flat surface closest to the TV and parallel to its bumper. This flat surface had a 2x2 inch receiver in it. A 2x2 inch bar with a coupler on one end was pinned into the TM's receiver and was removable.
