For your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 without the OEM prep package the B and W Turnoverball Rail Kit part # BWGNRK1020-5W is a confirmed fit and would be a great option to install a Companion hitch like the slider part # BWRVK3400-5W. What's really great about this setup is that when the hitch isn't being used you'd have a basically totally clean bed whereas other options require two larger rails that install in the bed. The Companion hitches are also considered to be the nicest around due to how well they are made, how quiet and smooth they are, and are made in the USA.

The hitch I mentioned is a slider which is good for providing additional turning cleararnce for a short bed truck but if your truck has a long bed or has a tapered nose like most modern trailers are made now you could get by with a fixed hitch version part # BWRVK3500-5W.

I attached an install video for the rail kit on a similar truck as yours for you to check out as well.

To add a 7-way to the bed of the truck for the fifth wheel trailer you'd want the part # 41157.
