Hey Bob! It sounds like you have industry standard rails in there right now. Do they look like the picture below and match those measurements? If so, you can use the Curt E16 # C95DR. However, I recommend getting the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3270 instead. Not only will this save you a little money, the ride quality and quality of the hitch will be significantly better.
