Weight distribution hitches are not vehicle specific. The hitch needs to match your trailer more than the vehicle towing the trailer. Personally I find the Equal-i-zer weight distribution systems are the best bang for the buck. You will need to select the correct hitch based on the trailers tongue weight from the list below.

200-600lbs Tongue Weight, Trailer Up to 6,000lbs # EQ37060ET
600-1,000lbs Tongue Weight, Trailer Up to 10,000lbs # EQ37100ET
800-1,200lbs Tongue Weight, Trailer Up to 12,000lbs # EQ37120ET
1,000-1,400lbs Tongue Weight, Trailer Up to 14,000lbs # EQ37140ET
1,200-1,600lbs Tongue Weight, Trailer Up to 16,000lbs # EQ64FR

If you are unsure please let me know what trailer you are towing and I can help point you to the exact system you will need.
