Hey Jen, thanks for reaching out!
To figure out what hitch receiver size you have on your vehicle, all you have to do is measure the inside height and inside width. If you check out the attached photo you'll see what I'm talking about.
I'm also attaching a link to our hitch receiver FAQ page that goes into a bit more detail if you're interested.
If you let me know what size hitch receiver you have as well as what you plan on using it for, I'd be happy to help out any other way that I can!

Hey Jen, were you able to measure your hitch receiver to see if it’s the 1-1/4 or 2-inch size? Once you confirmed the size, did it match up with what you needed for your ball mount? Your update could make it easier for others trying to figure out their hitch size too.
