The old Reese V-5 weight distribution system is not rated by the vehicle. It will be compatible with vehicles and trailers determined by the loaded tongue weight of the trailer along with any any cargo behind the rear axle of the towing vehicle. I've attached an article to assist.

Other than that, you simply need a trailer hitch with the 2 inch receiver which is most common and rated for weight distribution system use. Your specific WD system will have a minimum and maximum tongue weight rating for use. There were many different weights depending on the load bars used with your V-5 system.

Your system is too old for replacement head or spring bars. I've linked all our systems and replacement parts as we do have hangers and shanks as well as chains that are still available for your system.
