Expert Reply:
Yes, we do have the 48" Long TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension item # TLE1548. However, I checked with Torklift and there is not one with an 8,500 lbs capacity. It tops out at 6,500 lbs without a weight distribution system like the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System item # EQ37140ET. With a weight distribution system you can extend your capacity to 12,000 lbs. This system has a 14,000 lbs towing capacity and a maximum tongue weight of 1,400 lbs. There are no 48" extensions available that have an 8,500 lbs capacity without weight distribution. I have linked review videos for both of these products below.
The TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - 2-1/2" and 2" item # TL74FR you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. It is custom fit and bolts directly to your Silverado's frame with included hardware.
