Helpful Expert Reply:
I will be happy to make some recommendations for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500. If the truck is a short bed then I recommend custom underbed mount kit # DM8551010 with the 21,000 pound rated auto-sliding HiJacker, # DM8550037.
The underbed mount means that the bed will be clear when the hitch is removed for a clean look and a bed free of obstructions. The hitches slide automatically so you won't have to get out of the truck. And they travel 14 inches, the most of any slider we have, for clearance when turning.
If you have a long bed truck then I recommend the ever-popular B&W Companion hitch # BWRVK3500-5W and mount kit # BWGNRK1012-5W. The hitch is rated for 20,000 pounds and the mount kit mounts below the bed. But more than that it is also a gooseneck hitch so should the need ever arise you will have the ability to tow a gooseneck trailer!
To add an in-bed 7-Way trailer connector you can use # C56000.
