Our 2019 Ram 3500 Mopar factory 30K# puck hitch has started sticking when we attempt to unhitch the 5ver. Try as we might, we can't get the lever to release the jaws. We jack the trailer up, down, back, forth and battle to force the release lever to turn the jaws loose. I have lubed things and can find nothing binding. It hitches fine with no issues. Its a pain especially since its only been used less than 2 dozen times since we bought the rig new.

Any ideas welcome!
