Hook it to a really heavy trailer or tie the trailer to a tree. Use the jeep to pull it out. You talking about the receiver or the ball coming out of the receiver?

Hook a log chain to it and snap it like a whip. May take a bunch of tries before it works. Used to pull stuck axles like that. Works kind of like a slide hammer.

Hook onto a heavy trailer and hit the rough dirt roads.
The pounding will knock the rust out and vibrate it loose in no time.

A torch is gonna be your best friend here. Get it good and glowing hot all the way around and go at it like you mean it with a heavy hammer

penetrating oil takes time to work , keep applying get from front and back
if you have the time spray it 2x a week for a few weeks
then drive it out often have to take the spare tire down for that
if that doesn't work a new hitch assembly is probably the smart way to go all new bolts and re-attach it to the frame
how much do you trust something rusted that bad
fluid film spray each time you put your hitch in after you get it out and clean it out
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

We had a ball mount get rusted tight in a receiver at work on one of our 1 ton trucks. That truck regularly towed a flat trailer with a bobcat on it so the heavy trailer thing wasn't going to work. We beat that thing with a sledge hammer for 20 minutes in all directions and put a propane rosebud on it and got the receiver cherry red on the bottom. We tried prying it with a round pry bar through the receiver pin hole.
This is a maintenance shop with a half dozen guys who fix stuff for a living and we surrendered and let it stay where it was.

I never leave mine in unless I'm using it. Mostly because I've smacked my shin against it and possible theft even with a lock. Plus the stainless ones are a bit cleaner sitting behind the seat. Bet this would lock up real good with the dissimilar metals. Edit - it looks a little pink as it is reflecting the red shirt I was wearing while taking the picture.
