Today we're going to be taking a look at Part Number 58117. This is the Reese white grease hitch ball lubricant. This lube is going to get applied to your hitch ball. It's going to reduce the amount of friction between the hitch ball and the socket of your coupler. It's going to help extend the life of your hitch ball and make connecting and disconnecting much easier. The lube is going to be a non-toxic white grease that's designed so it won't break down.
It's also water resistant. It's going to come packaged in a four ounce container. By having the hitch ball lubricated, it can help keep your locking mechanism on your coupler working smoothly and properly, which is also going to prevent corrosion and it can also help quiet the connection. That's going to do it for today's review of Part Number 58117. This is the Reese white grease hitch ball lubricant. .
Average Customer Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars (194 Customer Reviews)
As expected, this Reese hitch lube works very well to protect both sides of the connection. Used this before, and came back for more. I like it much better than bearing grease, which is what I used to use. I apply it on the ball and lubed areas of my load levelers on very large and regular sized trailers.
Certainly recommend.
Reese White Grease Hitch Ball Lube is a good water resistant grease for all hitches. It will extend the life of your hitch by preventing binding, rusting, and galling. I always wipe the ball and hitch clean when I am done towing.

Still using the lube and it does a terrific job protecting the ball and hitch.
Great company to deal with, fast shipping! Thank you, Jamie
Our sales rep, Nicole R. was absolutely fantastic!
Have used this product for a very long time, with excellent results. Lubication is a wonderful thing! I learned the hard way a long time ago when my trailer hitch ball was stuck. Had a hard time freeing up. Never used a lube before and this product is specific to hitch balls. No more problems. The price is the best here at etrailer.com. A jar will last many years.

Very well.Really is a good product
Not much to say about grease. It is greasy. I've applied it about 3 times in the last year. I tow a 3k lb trailer about 2-3 times a month. Probably wipe more off putting the ball cover on and off than using it up but I'm happy with its performance.

Ive probably used about a third of the jar so far, it really goes a long way.
I own a 31ft Cabin Cruiser boat that weighs around 10,000lbs and the trailer itself weighs over 2000lbs. Every time I would pull the boat out of the water the back of my truck would squat a little and the trailer jack would occasionally scrape the ground. So I purchased this Hitch Ball and mounted it upside down so that the ball is higher than the bumper of the truck and now the trailer is level when cruising down the interstate fully loaded.
This Hitch ball is very heavy and completlely solid! I dont hear any noises coming from the hitch at all.
Etrailer had the best price around and will always contine shopping with them anytime I need any trailer parts
I looked everywhere for this product - so had to order on line.
ETrailer had the best price. This is the best lube for my ball hitch on my horse trailer. So glad I found it again. Thanks.

I do not ever want to be without it! Will order from you again when I run out. Many thanks.
This little jar of "stuff" has saved me many headaches when unhitching my travel trailer from the tow vehicle. Before I bought this I would have a tough time sometimes getting the hitch off the ball and also difficulty getting it back on. This lubricant makes it so easy to hitch up and unhitch. The only word of warning is to watch out for the hitch ball with your pant legs because it will leave a major grease stain on your pants if you rub against the ball. Its white going on but it turns black from friction I guess. It lasts a very long time too because you only need a very little bit each time.
All items received quickly. All items fit and work actually better than I though they might! The 2-5/16 ball cover is not too tight but stays put. The ball lube is thick and stays put, as well. Hard to find both of these items locally. Thank you etrailer...again!

Still pleased with performance of both products. Both are currently in service today.
Grand stuff! Just the thing for my hitch ball, which takes some punishment due to stabilizer bars, dust, etc.
Product worked well. I used it this weekend to hitch/unhitch my travel trailer to my truck and even though the ball didn't slide out as easy as I'd hoped, it took less rocking back and forth than without the lube. I was told that these types of lubricants can collect a lot of dirt and make the situation worse, but I am willing to test that theory out myself.
I did a search to figure out why my RV camper was not unhitching easily from the towing ball. Honestly, this was such a problem that we could not figure out and were weary of jumping on the hitch and trying to jiggle the ball to break free. What I liked so much about your company was that your company suggested possible reasons that the ball was sticking and offered several solutions. I realized that I was unhitching on uneven ground and that a lube might help. The lube worked exactly as you said. A very inexpensive solution plus we knew why it was happening and could reposition the camper. Product arrived quickly and customer service attentive. Good job!!
I have been using Reese Hitch grease for about 15 years. I have had very little wear or gaulding on any of the hitch balls or sway balls I have used it on. It is expensive grease but I like it better than colored grease that gets all over everything. At least if this gets on you, wipe it off and it does not show.
The ease of making this purchase and to track to destination was as good as it gets for on-line shopping.

excellent, will reorder again
Great stuff. Keeps my hitch silent as a country night and has stopped any wear and tear on ball. A must have for any RVer.

Best buy Ive made in a while. Keeps things moving like a duck through water. It doesnt take much and the jar has lasted a year and still is 23 full.
This is a must for towing, and less friction is always good, I use a B&W Tri Ball. It keeps the crome nice on an expensive hitch. then keep it covered with a hitch ball cover and no greasy mess.
Good product, I first used it on a new hitch ball that I used to pull a 26' covered car hauler with for 600 miles. When I arrived at my destination I took a rag and cleaned off the hitch ball and found that I couldn't hardly tell that it had been used.
I had no idea you should use greese on your hitch ball. My hitch was so bad I could not get the hitch to engage. After using the White Hitch Ball Lube hooking up was a breeze. I would highly recommend this product.
This stuff is great. I made the mistake of operating without it - don't do what I did and potentially damage your ball. Fortunately I just have a few nicks and scrapes from an older trailer I bought. The trailer used to stick on the ball when lifting it up, that's not a problem anymore. Make sure you wear gloves - if you don't it will be on your hands all day long which is a testament to the staying power of the grease.
It is what it says it is and time will tell if it makes a difference. The lid came off in shipping. Good thing it is thick and was packaged with a hitch ball so no harm done, maybe run a piece of tape over the lid, before shipping.
I have used this grease for about 17 years and it works great! I like that it does not make as big a mess being white if you get it on your clothes. It is expensive grease, but when my equipment and safety depends on quality grease I will give a few more dollars. I have read post that say, there is no need to grease your hitch ball and sway controls! This is wrong!!! If you do not grease you will pay the price! I have been towing all my life, and I have seen the results of using no grease or the wrong grease, and it is not pretty!
Best hitch lubricant out there!
