Yes, the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 will fit on your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 but it typically not recommended unless you have a pivoting pin box like the Reese Sidewinder # RP34FR since you have a short bed. First you will need Rail Kit # C16429-204 if your truck did not come with the factory in bed hitch prep or you will need the Adapter # C88KR if your truck does have the in bed mounting system.

Typically a short bed truck is recommended to have a sliding 5th wheel hitch if you do not have the pivoting pin box. This ensures you have enough clearance to make full jackknife turns since you can move the hitch back to maneuver. For that I recommend the Demco # DM8550035 if you are going to use rails or the Demco # DM29GV which will fit into the factory in bed hitch mounts. You may need an adapter for your 5th wheel pin box to use one of these hitches. If you can let me know what 5th wheel you are pulling and the pin box it uses I can verify exactly what you will need.
