My driveway is sloped down. So I back up just onto my chocks, go back, unhook, jack 'er up just enough where I think the coupler will lift off the ball, get in the truck, back up just a hair and she pops off. My previous boat was so tough that i would sometimes unhook the hitch from the receiver and pull away leaving the ball in the tongue.

This is my justification for keeping eating what I like when I already weigh 300 pounds. I'm on the 'trailer unhooker aid' diet.
If you have a Reese hitch and the ball is the Locking ball the trailer coupler is hitting on the edge of one of the points of the Locking ball you'll have to grind the edge off or go with a solid round ball on
I used to do this until the trailer tongue once jumped forward and bit the bumper of my new truck....now I just pull forward a bit :)

White lithium grease works best. Spray it on the ball as well as the trailer hitch cavity.
So Jon, did you lube up your ball?
If that doesnt work you always have bruce to jump on the other side of the bumper
They aint got hands, set the hook
When I back into the garage, I always drop it into Drive before putting it into Park. This gives my trailer just enough forward movement to let the hitch come right off.
A little schmeer of Ball grease is never a bad thing either.
Don't worry Ma'am....
I'm only here for the Bass.
Yep, I use the same brushes. Any grease will work though. Just keep the ball greased. It should help some with his issue but the main reason is so the ball don't get worked loose from vehicle turns.I use a small brush .got at harbor freight they come in a bag

Lol, outstanding
i do it all the time it's not hurting any thingJump on the bumper of your truck
I notice if I chock my wheels tight before I unhook the trailer it gets stuck on the ball. So now I chock them loosely and it pops right off every time. It always seems the trailer need to move left or right to pop off.
