For your 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 that has the factory rail kit in the bed you'd want the fixed B and W Companion part # BWRVK3700 if you have a long bed truck or the slider version # BWRVK3770 for if you have a short bed.
The Companion hitches are considered by nearly all RVers as the nicest hitches you can get. They are USA made hitches, that are easy to use, and last a very long time. The reason you need a slider hitch with the short bed trucks is so that you have turning clearance when you make tight turns. The fixed hitch version is for the long bed trucks as they don't have turning clearance issues.
If you wanted a slider hitch that automatically slid back as you made tight turns I have a great solution for that as well the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550035 will automatically move back as you take tight turns. It also has a 21k capacity. To install it all you need is the rail kit adapter part # DM6194 and you'd be set.
