To add a gooseneck hitch to your 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 with a 8' bed, I recommend the B&W Custom Underbed Installation Kit item # BWGNRK1020. It has a massive 30,000 lbs capacity and fits both the 6-3/4' and 8' bed lengths. It also fits the duallys along with the single rear models.

The B&W item # BWGNRK1020 includes all hardware necessary to complete installation on your truck. The custom fit brackets install into preexisting holes in your Silverado's frame. It is made in the USA and powder coated to prevent rust.

This underbed system allows you to store the 2-5/16" hitch ball upside down and inside your bed when you are not using it. This gives you full access to your bed when you're not towing. The locking handle is easily accessible inside your driver's side rear wheel well.

I have attached a couple of pictures below along with an installation video to help you get this hitch set up and show you what it looks like once installed.

To make towing with a gooseneck trailer easier, I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 7' Long item # C58FV. This harness puts a 4-way and 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your gooseneck trailer easier and more convenient.
