Questions about Equalizer hitch
I recently gave up on my Andersen hitch (but that's a topic for another post). I have a couple of questions about my new Equalizer hitch: 1. Can you substitute another kind of grease for the Equalizer...

I use the Mobil 1 synthetic bearing grease on my EQ simply because that's what I have laying around. You can use any such heavy duty grease, some use a spray lithium grease, doesn't matter. You don't have to buy the EQ grease, but can if you want. As to your other question if I understand correctly, yes you can leave the hitch head in the RECEIVER if you like, some use a locking pin. I remove mine and set it a shallow plastic bin in the bed of the truck so I don't have that shin-buster where somebody could walk into it.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant pulling it out of the TV receiver and hitching it into the trailer coupler with a padlock, i.e., leaving it hanging there.
I would never do that for reasons noted above. The EQ hitch head is quite heavy.
