Greasing the Curt OEM Gooseneck Hitch Ball for the Factory Prep Packages
Question:
I was wondering if and what grease to use on the Ford OEM ball that fits into the factory prepped gooseneck in my 2016 F250 truck. Wondering because the top has a spring loaded lever for ing the removing the ball. Wouldnt the grease interfere with the operation of this?

Expert Reply:
The Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loop Kit for Chevy, Ford, GM, and Nissan Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # C60692 does not need to be greased unless the mechanism isn't working properly. A spray penetrating spray grease works well, don't over do it. A little grease on the hitch ball won't interfere with function as there is even hitch ball grease # 58117 to reduce noise which could alternatively be used. I personally like the spray with the hose if you want to protect the internal mechanism.
