Gotta find out what's wrong with the fifth wheel. If the jaws are stuck, the horseshoe might need to be replaced, or the whole thing might have to be rebuilt. But, ensure that the fifth wheel is properly adjusted, and that there's no pressure on the jaws when you try to release it.

How do I tow a fifth wheel trailer?
You need a truck that is rated to pull the weight of the trailer, Extended side mirrors. Electric brake system in the truck for the trailer. A 5th wheel hitch. The trailer will follow along behind the truck normally but on turns make sure you turn wide, the trailer will track to the inside of the curve on any turn. Give yourself plenty of stopping distance. The trailer will cut your gas mileage almost in half, if it's a big 5th wheel. Don't overload the 5th wheel with unnecessary junk it adds weight. If you start fast you will feel the "King Pin" yank you back as the trailer starts to roll after you. You will also feel it push you if you stop fast. Be very conscious about your size in traffic. Other than that it drives just like any truck.

Can you put a fifth wheel hitch in a Chevy stepside?
its not advised on a 1500 truck. it is possible but would put alot of strain on the truck pulling a 5th wheel trailer, potentially risking rear end and transmission failure because of the amount of weight and strain. if you were to do so you would need to back up the hitch/trailer with an aftermarket rear end and a strong transmission. it is possible on a 3/4 ton truck, you would have to invest in a sliding 5th wheel hitch to do so, and measure about 47 inches or so from the rear of the bed. consult in a professional installer before making any decisions.
