Is It Still Needed to Grease Hitch and Pin Box When Using a Lube Plate

Question:

Do you still need to grease the pin? If yes what are the benefits of the plate?

When using a lube plate like # RP83002, you can still grease the king pin to help with movement inside of the hitch.

Using a lube plate eliminates the need to grease the skid plate on the hitch and the underside of the pin box. When greasing the hitch face and king pin face, it can get quite messy. The lube plate eliminates the need to grease both of these components and helps keep them cleaner. I have attached a review video of the #RP83002 lube plate for you.
