I'll start this out by saying that weight distribution hitches like the Curt Weight Distribution System # C17341 are not vehicle specific; as long as you've got a 2" hitch receiver like the Curt # C14006, or the factory hitch, this weight distribution system will fit in the 2" receiver you've got. With that said, you'll want to choose a weight distribution hitch for your trailer based off of the tongue weight of your trailer and the GVWR. As long as the tongue weight of your fully loaded trailer is less than 800-lbs and the GVWR is under 8000-lbs, you can use the Curt C17341 on your trailer.

If you can provide me with a bit more information on the trailer you're towing, like the tongue weight and GVWR, I can help you locate the best weight distribution system for your trailer. I've also gone ahead and linked our entire selection of weight distribution hitches and some helpful articles on how to choose the best one in the event you want to look through them yourself and choose the one that best meets your needs.
