For your 2023 Chevy Silverado 3500 with the factory puck system, easily the best auto-slide 5th wheel hitch is the Demco Hijacker. The reason I like it so much is due to its elite jaw system and cushioned head, which give you a more comfortable, quiet ride when towing compared to other hitches. The Hijacker is available in two different towing capacities for your '23 Silverado 3500:

- 18,000 lb Capacity: Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch with Slider # DM79GV

- 21,000 lb Capacity: Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch with Slider # DM29GV

You're smart to go with an automatic slide because of how convenient it is, but that wouldn't be worth much if the hitch didn't perform really well. The Hijacker achieves that with a single-piece jaw that wraps totally around the king pin, and that connection is reinforced via a 3/4" solid steel bar that locks into place once the jaw is closed.

The reinforced jaw system is what will give you a much quieter ride with less rattling and slack in the jaws than other hitches. Your ride is going to be made even more comfortable because of the Hijacker's cushioned dampeners, which are sort of like sponges that soak up both noise and vibration.
