Since your Alliance trailer has a 20,000 lb GVWR, you'll need a hitch with a capacity that exceeds that, and the best option from Curt is the A-Series. You didn't mention if your 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 had the OEM puck system, or if you already have bed rails installed, or if it was a short bed or long bed, so I'll list out every potential option:

- Short Bed WITHOUT OEM Puck System: Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16429-204 & Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S25 Slider # C35DR

- Short Bed WITH OEM Puck System: Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch # C88KR & Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S25 Slider # C35DR

- Long Bed WITHOUT OEM Puck System: Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16429-204 & Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180

- Long Bed WITH OEM Puck System: Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # C24FR

These A-Series hitches each have a 25,000 lb capacity, and give you the best towing experience and ride because they use an interlocking dual jaw system that wraps totally around the king pin, making complete contact with it, ensuring a vice-like grip.

These hitches are also among the easiest to use because of their handy color-coded indicator system, which is visible from your truck and lets you know if the jaws on the hitch are ready to couple, uncouple or tow. They even have a fully articulating head for a smooth coupling process and built-in zerk fittings so you can lube the hitch with ease.

The only other thing you might need if you don't have one is a 5th wheel wiring harness, the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C53CR.
