Hi J!
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - 2" # C15302 is only designed for the 6.5 ft bed, but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V XD - 2" # C15312 will fit the 8 ft. The mounting brackets and bolt pattern are a little different, but the 2" receiver size and capacities are all exactly the same.
What are you planning on using the hitch for?
