RE: Should I grease my ball?
ORIGINAL: big2dabank
I have never had a problem with having to grease my ball, of course I don't leave it on the truck all the time. I store it behind the rear seat of my sut, I don't tow that mutch, but usually keep the tongue on the trailers I usegreased. So I just wipe my ball when i'm done and put it back in the cab and never had a rust problem.

RE: Should I grease my ball?
I spray mine with white lithium grease every couple of weeks in the summer when towing.I usually just leave it in during the whole boating season. That way I dont have to put my dirty greasy ball back in the truck after using it every time. I use mine about 3x a week in the summer. You really dont have to grease your ball. What it really does is just help with connecting and un hooking the trailer. The only part that sucks for some people is that when they are trying to get stuff out of the back of the truck that they will bump into the ball and get dirty. My wife does this all the time. I almost never do as I have delt with a greasy hitch ball my whole life and just know to steer clear of it sub-consiously.
