Helpful Expert Reply:
Your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 can upgrade from the factory hitch to a more robust one such as the 20,000 lb towing/2,500 lb tongue weight TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Trailer Hitch Receiver # TL74FR.
That said, it will not change any of the ratings Chevy has for the vehicle in regards to maximum towing or maximum tongue weight, as they are the ones who set the ratings as opposed to the equipment on it. Please check your owner's manual for the maximum ratings of the truck.
