For your 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500 short bed with the OEM prep package you're likely going to need a sliding hitch, so I recommend using the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K # BWRVK3775 because of the quality and durability of B&W products. This hitch has a 1" thick locking jaw to provide more kingpin contact and it will install directly into the pucks unlike most of the other options available for your Silverado.

If you don't think you'll need the sliding hitch to keep your trailer from hitting the cab of the truck when turning, you could use a static hitch like the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # BWRVK3710. Again, I recommend B&W hitches like these Companion hitches because of their high quality and durability; they're also made in the USA as an added bonus.

I've linked some review and installation videos of these for you to check out.
