Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 with Factory Rail Kit
Question:
What fifth wheel hitch do you recommend for my 2020 chevy silverado 2500? It has the rail kit with the holes in the bed so nothing else is needed but the hitch, right? I also have a shorter bed so it would need to be a slider hitch. Thanks!

You are correct that since your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 has the factory rail kit (puck system) you only need the hitch and nothing else as it will mount directly to those pucks.
The sliding fifth wheel hitch I highly recommend is the B&W Companion # BWRVK3775 because of its immense jaws and cushioned bushings which combine to give you the most comfortable and quiet towing experience possible.
The jaws on the Companion are 1 inch thick, and there is no space between them when they are closed. This robust jaw system is the key reason why the Companion - more than any other fifth wheel hitch - minimizes the chucking, jarring and noise that can occur when towing a fifth wheel trailer. If you take a look at the accompanying photo you can see the full breadth of these jaws and why they act like an adhesive to your king pin. The bushings on the Companion are another important factor; they are made of polyurethane which act as cushions that absorb noise and rattle so you can get to your destination in comfort.
The B&W Companion # BWRVK3775 has a 20,000 lb towing capacity, which is more than enough capacity to allow your 2020 Silverado 2500 to tow any trailer the truck can handle. I have added a link to a video review of the hitch for you to check out as well.
