We have just what you're looking for. The hitch I recommend using in your 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500 is the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Underbed - 21,000 lbs # DM8550037, which provides 14" of travel to keep your 5th wheel nose from contacting the cab of the truck when making tight turns. You will also need the Demco Underbed rail kit # DR37FR, which is great because the underbed installation means it will allow you to have a clear truck bed when not towing.
If you've got the OEM puck package there is not an auto-slide hitch available, but I do recommend using the B&W Companion # BWRVK3775 instead since it provides you with the highest quality alternative. The Companion hitch will fit in the OEM puck system on the 2020 Silverado 3500, and the 1" thick jaws help provide a secure connection to the kingpin that will reduce any rattling you might experience. B&W hitches are made in the USA and renowned for their quality, plus they come with a lifetime warranty so your investment is well protected.
I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to have a look at.
