    Lube plate

    Anyone using a lube plate on your hitch pin? Is it worth it? I am considering but looking for feedback first

    Double check with you hitch manufacturer. Some hitches can not use a lube plate. If you use a lube plate on a itch that cant use it you may end up with a high hitch and possibly drop you trailer on your truck bed.

    If it's a conventional hitch and pin box (PullRite, B&W, etc.), I wouldn't tow without one.

    Lube plate beats covering your hitch in grease.

    Yes and yes. Way better than messing with grease.
