Expert Reply:

The weight of the Reese Elite Series Gooseneck Hitch, part # RP30845, is 61 pounds. Along with this item you would need the Reese Elite Series Installation Kit, part # RP30061 for your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado. The installation kit weighs 55 pounds.

I am including links to the installation instructions on the Reese hitch and the installation kit.
