Yes, you do. In order to have enough turning clearance to not bash in the back window of your new truck you will need a sliding hitch or a rotating pin box. The best hitch for your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the factory puck system is the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # BWRVK3775.
The Companion Slider item # BWRVK3775 has a 20,000 lbs capacity and will give you 12" of travel for making tight turns and backing. The base has built in legs that will attach to your in bed pucks.
I really like the Companion because of its 1" thick dual jaws that give you a 360-degree jaw to kingpin contact. This system minimizes the chucking, jarring and noise that can occur when towing a fifth wheel trailer. This not only provides a more secure connection but also a quieter more comfortable towing experience.
I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set.
