Default Do GN hitch ***** wear out?

I know it's a strange question but do the in bed ball mounts for the GN time out or wear out?

I shouldnt but abuse due to weather, trailer or towing heavy can affect longevity. I have probavly 60k miles of goosneck towing on my 2003 dodge 3/4 ton, about 14k of weight. Ball and hitch r still fine.

I've been using the same ones for over 50 years now. Just make sure you keep them properly lubed and they need to be drained a few times a week.

It was like a beacon, maybe even the Bat Signal, that drew Luigi here......

Was only a matter of time with that thread title.
