Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.

SUITABLE FOR WOMEN. This 5th wheel lube plate acts as a lubricating buffer between the hitch head plate and the kingpin box, protecting your 5th wheel hitch head from wear while towing heavy-duty 5th wheel trailers.

MUCH LESS MESS. Lubricating your fifth wheel connection with grease is far inferior to using a fifth wheel lube plate. There are no messes to clean up afterward, unlike with grease. The grooves on this lube plate are unique and self-cleaning.

THE FIT IS COMMON. This lubrication plate for the fifth wheel can be used with any standard fifth wheel kingpin. The interior tabs ensure a secure but flexible fit. The 12-inch outside diameter is large enough to cover most 5th wheel hitches.

INSTALLATION IS QUICK AND EASY. Before towing, simply press this 5th wheel lube plate onto the kingpin. You're ready to tow now that you've pressed it into place and hitched up your trailer.

DURABLE. The tough white polyethylene plastic used to make this 5th wheel lube plate ensures long-term use. The plastic construction can withstand high pressure while still providing excellent lubrication.

Questions & Answers

What is the best way to keep the nylon plate from falling off?

Use no grease or oil spray, and make sure the King pin is free of debris. This is a standard size that requires a snug fit for insertion. If you're still falling, check for excessive wear on your pin and replace it as soon as possible (this is a safety issue).

Is this 12 inch lube plate compatible with my 2006 Ford F 250 Super Duty pickup?

It fits any 5th wheel pin and sits between the pin and the hitch, eliminating the need to grease your hitch. Measure your hitch base plate to determine whether you need the 10 in or 12 in lube plate.

My Curt 24 king pin couldn't fit through the 12" disc's center hole. Is there a difference in the size of the center hole on the 10" disc?

I don't know if the center diameter of the 10" and 12" disks should be the same without further research, but I believe they should. The RV King pin size appears to be a standard 2", but I'm sure there are some oddities out there that I'm unaware of.

I'm curious about the thickness. ?

I'm not sure how thick it is. However, we've been using it for a year and use it on a daily basis because we work full-time. I would advise you to

Although installation is difficult, the quality is excellent

4/5

If it wasn't so difficult to set up, I would have given it a five-star rating. We couldn't get the disc to stick on the king pin even with four of us working together, and pounding it with a rubber mallet didn't help. Finally, I used my trusty dremel tool to gently sand the tabs' tips, resulting in a nice tight fit. The disk is of good quality and thickness, and it is flexible enough to avoid shattering under pressure.

It does the job and keeps me clean

4/5

I prefer to use this Hitch Plate because it eliminates the need to lubricate the top of the fifth wheel plate. I've tried other brands, but I prefer this one because of the slots for removing dirt; it's a little difficult to press on at first, but it stays in place longer if you don't trim it down.

The money was well spent

5/5

It really works. It has a little over 10,000 miles on it and is in excellent condition. There will be no more squeaks, clunks, or having to deal with grease. It keeps the new hitch looking new, unlike the old one, which has rusted. An upgrade that was well worth it.

The larger radius appeals to me, but it appears to be even bigger

3/5

I like the larger radius, but it appears that after a couple of trips, all of the larger ines have issues. The inner circle distorts and then refuses to stay in place. I need to lay it on the ground and pound it flat with a hammer before I can use it for a trip. Then do it all over again. I've always used the black ones and have never had any problems with them. I just can't seem to find a black ring with a larger diameter.
