Expert Reply:
To mount your Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider # C16541 into the bed of your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 you will need choose the correct rails based on if your truck has the in bed factory hitch prep/puck system. If you are unsure you can look inside your bed for 5 large cutouts in the bed that have mounting connections that are covered with a plastic cap. Those are the mounting points for 5th wheel hitches and gooseneck trailer balls.
For a Silverado with the factory prep/puck system you will need the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch # C88KR. These will drop into the factory mounting points and give you a set of rails that your Curt A20 5th wheel hitch will drop into.
If you do not have the factory prep/puck system the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16429-204 will provide you with the in bed rails as well as the custom fit under bed brackets. These brackets make the installation easier by removing the need to drill through the frame on your Silverado.
