The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C47FR would work fine on your 2020 GMC Sierra 2500, assuming that your 5th wheel has the dished in front corners that would prevent the front of the 5th wheel from colliding with the rear of the cab during turns or if it has a rotating pin box like the Reese Sidewinder/Revolution or Lippert Turning Point.

If you are using a a rotating pin box, you'll need the Curt E series specific wedge, part # C16991.
