To grease the ball or not?
Should you grease the ball? I have been but was just recently told I shouldn't.

If you do not grease it you will have to replace it often. Left dry it will grind it down and also the inside of the hitch. You will also have to replace it. Cutting it off and welding a new one on. Easier to just put some grease on the ball. Carry paper towels to wipe it off when you unhook.
X2. Initially I did not lube the ball and it got some pretty good gouges in it from the high pressure applied. Now I do it every time I hitch using the white ball grease. Soon as I unhitch I wipe the ball with a paper towel and the mess is gone.
