The best way to determine what size ball mount you need is to take a couple of quick measurements.
Park the trailer and the tow vehicle on a level area. Measure from the top of the receiver hitch opening to the ground. Then measure from the bottom of the trailer coupler to the ground.
If the distance from the top of the receiver opening to the ground is greater then you will need a ball mount with a drop. You would need to select a ball mount that is closest to the difference between the hitch and coupler.
I have attached a link to a helpful article that explains how to determine what ball mount to get. If you take the measurements and want to let me know what you found I will be glad to make a recommendation that will work for you.
