Downside is that, when the trailer is not hooked up, you have this plate covered with grease in the truck bed. Imagine what happens if you tether a dog back there...
There is a product to solve this problem: A thick (maybe half-inch) Teflon washer that goes where the grease would go. It has fingers in the inner hole that makes it hang onto the trailer pin when they're not connected.
One of those would provide all the heavy teflon sheet you'd need for several top-of-the-pipe-on-pipe teflon bushings.[ Parent ]
