Congrats on the new truck! Our highest capacity bumper hitch for a 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 is the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C96CR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Silverado with included hardware. You will need to remove the factory hitch if your truck came with it from the factory.

This is a class V hitch with a 2-1/2" receiver. It has a 20,000 lbs towing capacity and a 2,700 lbs maximum tongue weight. This hitch can be used with a weight distribution system but it will not increase either capacity.

The Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank #EQ90-02-4900 would work well. It's not so tall that would it cause too much potential to drag. This has a distance of 4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest flange bracket.

I have a solution for you, but you can't use the Roadmaster #RM-058-4 to tow a trailer; this high/low adapter is only suited for flat towing where there is not any tongue weight. Instead you can use a hitch reducer like the Gen-Y Hitch…

I don't know what camper you have, the trailer coupler height, or the hitch height of your truck. But the Equal-i-zer shank part #EQ90-02-4900 would be a great option that would cover what you have most likely as it can do a drop of up to 6…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
