Helpful Expert Reply:

The Demco rails part # DM6071 you have installed in your 2019 Chevy Silverado are compatible with all industry standard rail fifth wheel hitches like Reese that you mentioned. Any Reese hitch we offer (as long as it doesn't say Elite or M5 in the title) will fit these rails like the Reese 16k part # RP30047.
