Thanks for the suggestions. I think we're on the right track, BUT that sucker is still well and truly stuck. I've completely removed the coupler part of the hitch and the draw down bolt, rotated the base as much as possible - maybe two degrees - and, then, pulled the release rod out as far as possible, but the latch handle totally refuses to rotate at all. I'm thinking that the business end of the rod is jammed where it passes through the bottom of the base unit. If I can get enough access down there to pound it through from the opposite (passenger) side with a punch of some sort, I might be able to knock it lose. Wish me luck! Another option would be to just resign myself to always having the hitch mounted in the truck. Thanks again for your insights.
Phil
