I'm late to the party here. Let me get this right. You have to have the jaws closed when you back into the hitch to make sure they close? Do they actually make a hitch like that?Just asking.
Reese manual page 6 states:
4. With handle in the closed position (See Fig. 10), back truck slowly into trailer. As the trailer king pin enters the hitch it will push the hitch jaws open and extend the handle (See Fig. 11). As king pin completely enters head, jaws will spring closed around king pin and handle will return to the closed position.
