We just hitched up our 5th and my husband checked the lever under the truck bed and it seemed lose so we want to unhitch but now the jaws won't open. Help please. We have loved this hitch until now.
Working of kroghville's suggestion, every time I unhitch I first put my truck in neutral and slowly release the brake. If I have forward pressure or back pressure the truck will move and relieve it. After doing so, I put my truck back in park.
Prior to using this technique I had plenty of times where I couldn't release the pin. Since I started doing this, I haven't an issue.
