Hey Eli,
The B&W Continuum Weight Distribution w Sway Control and Extra Drop - 16K GTW, 1.6K TW # BW57BR is not vehicle specific, but instead measured based on the difference in height of your receiver hitch and your trailer coupler. A quick search on Google showed me your truck has a factory hitch height of around 20-22" from the ground to the center of the hitch receiver. This weight distribution system has a maximum drop of 3" and a maximum rise of 12-3/8", so it will work for your truck as long as the coupler is between 17"-34-3/8" from the ground. These measurements are based on the truck's receiver being 20"-22" high, but you can adjust your measurements once you have confirmation on the height. You will also want to confirm that you have a 2.5" diameter hitch with this model.
The B&W continuum system is really the top of the line in weight distribution hitches. It's a silent system that uses hydraulics to make the adjustments to keep your system level. What's causing you to need a weight distribution hitch? Do you need it for a camper or a heavy trailer?

Thank you for the reply Jerry. I did order the 2.5" hitch version with the extra drop as an extra precaution. We will be using it to tow our 30' camper on a 2400 mile round trip for the next few years while we develop our recently purchased property and I want to ensure the safety of my family while making these trips.
