We have fifth wheel hitches and rail kits that are confirmed as a fit for your 2002 Chevy Silverado that would work well for towing your trailer. If you have a long bed you'd need a fixed hitch like the part # RP30047 or if you have a short bed truck you'd need a slider hitch like the # RP30075 and you'd be set.
For a rail kit you'd then want a custom install kit like the # RP50064-58 which is a confirmed fit for your truck and will minimize drilling and install time when compared to universal rail kit.
In the owners manual or at a Chevy dealer you'll be able to come up with the towing capacity of your truck based on how it's equipped.
