Expert Reply:
The Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Single Jaw - 27,000 lbs # RP58FR weight is 166 pounds. It is a confirmed fit for you 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500.
I recommend getting a lube plate to help you avoid the mess known as fifth wheel grease. The Lube Plate for Elite Series and Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 12" Diameter # RP83001. Depending on your driving style and use plus location a lube plate will last a season up to 8 months.
If you need a wire harness I suggest the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole and 4-Pole Connector # HM54FR.
