For some reason the trailer kingpin will not allow the jaw half to drop and thus won't lock the pin.
The new hitch head works fine as one would expect. New problem is that after I tested a successful hitch when I pulled away I noticed shavings of the plastic disk by the two bolts on the hitch plate. This is caused by the bolts being a fraction above the plate instead of below it. Currently discussing this situation with them.
