Helpful Expert Reply:
Since you have a Revolution pin box on the trailer you can use a fixed 5th wheel hitch even if your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 is a short bed.
For a hitch that can be used with the Revolution pin box I recommend Curt Q16 # C16120. This hitch is rated for 16,000 pounds and has a cushioned head for improved ride quality. To use it with the Revolution you will also need custom wedge # C16992.
The only other part you will need is an installation kit. I recommend # RP50066-58 because it is a custom kit so you won't have to drill into the truck frame for installation. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.
I also recommend adding an in-bed 7-Way, # 41157, to make hooking up the trailer easier. I have linked a video featuring this harness as well.
