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

The biggest reason to not grease a hitch ball is because when dirt/sand gets into the grease, it greatly increases the grinding effect that can ruin a hitch. You need to carefully wipe out the hitch and wipe off the ball and then regrease them regularly.
If you don't tow a lot, maybe only a couple times a year, it may actually be better for the hitch to not grease the ball if you don't clean it carefully.
I didn't grease my TT's hitch for a few years when we first got it, until I started seeing some wear. Now I grease (and clean) the hitch regularly.
