That's going to depend on the coupler of the trailer. I can't gaurantee you what size you will encounter so you will need to check with the owner of the trailer currently and ask what it takes.
For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286. Most likely it's a 2-5/16 though.
