You would most likely need the highest capacity hitch you can fit on your 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 based on what you plan to tow. For that we have the Curt hitch part # C15323 which is a confirmed fit.

This hitch has capacities of 2,400 lbs tongue weight and 16,000 lbs total trailer weight which should be more than you need.
