I have had a pullrite (well 2 actually) for 17 years. It can be tricky to unhitch. First thing I do is lower the front landing gear and try to get a gap between the trailer hitch plate and the hitch itself. It seems that sometimes the truck just raises up instead of the plate. When that starts happening, I jockey the truck a little forward of backward. Direction depends on whether you pulled in forward or backed in because of the pressure against the truck hitch. At this point I can usually pull on the handle and it unhooks. Sometimes I have to get back in and move the truck slightly the other direction.

Also, it seems every once in a while it is a real pain to get it just right! LOL
BUT I have got into some tight spots and was able to almost pivot the rig around without the wheels going forward - i.e. a 90 degree turn of the truck.
