The 5th wheel hitch that fits your 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 8 foot long bed with the OEM puck system and has the highest towing capacity - 31,000 lbs - is a hitch from Demco:

- Demco UMS Double Pivot 5th Wheel Hitch # DM47GV

The # DM47GV will mount right in your Chevy's pucks and give you more towing capacity than any other hitch on the market.
