Yes, the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier w/ 2" Receiver Opening - 2" Hitches, # RM-195225, will work on any 2 inch hitch receiver. It has a maximum spacing of 10 inches between the rear of the truck and the center of the hitch pin hole. This spare tire carrier has a tongue weight capacity of 400 lbs, but the hitch on your truck has a rated tongue weight on it as well, and with this particular product that tongue weight rating is cut by 33% when you use this adapter. The anti-rattle hitch pin is a nice feature to reduce the noise from movement and vibration. This is a very nice spare tire carrier for large wheels and has the ability to adapt to many different sizes. The only thing to note specifically is that this hitch will require you to remove the entire assembly to lower your tailgate.
