Just a note, I always grease my hitch. Once, I had a new ball and I
didn't grease it. On my way to FL from NJ, the motion of the trailer
turning loosened up the ball nut. The trailer tongue would bind on the
ball and turn it. The lock nut held the nut so it loosened the nut after
a while.
So when I grease a ball now, I make sure to get some where the tongue
latch contacts the ball.

And don't forget to CROSS the chains under the hitch for
increased safety.
