Both the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, 25K, # C16180 mounted with the Adapter Rails # C88KR and the 25K B&W Companion, # BWRVK3715 will mount to the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 with OEM Prep Package. Both are great options but I suggest the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package, # BWRVK3715. I like the 1" thick jaws on the Companion. These are precision machined to provide a tight, sturdy connection and securely wrap around your trailer's king pin. The cam-action latching handle helps prevent binding, is simple to release, even on unlevel terrain. The B&W is noted as having a superior powder coating and is made in USA with materials sourced from the USA too.
The Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, 25K, # C16180 mounted with the Adapter Rails # C88KR is by all means a top quailty hitch as well, I just lean toward trhe B&W brand over the Curt. However, the Curt A25 does have an interlocking 2-jaw system that provides 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact. Like the B&W option it has a fully articulating head for controlled coupling providing a stable, quiet ride.
