While there are a lot of great options available from various manufacturers I absolutely prefer the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for the Chevy/GMC with a towing prep package, # BWRVK3775. This is a fully Made In USA product with raw materials sourced from the US as well. It has a gross towing weight of 20,000 lbs. and a vertical load limit of 5,000 lbs. The Hitch height is adjustable from 17" - 19" with a full 12" of front to back travel providing cab clearance.
This 20K slide type hitch works perfectly with your short bed 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 that has the OEM puck system. The built-in slider provides needed clearance for your short-bed to turn safely at slow speeds and the rail-free design allows for full access to truck bed when hitch is removed. This has a 1" thick dual jaw that provides a full 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact which means less rattle and more security than slide-bar jaws. The cam-action latching handle helps to prevent binding and provides for a simple release. The head is fully articulating which makes for easier hook up less chucking.
