Helpful Expert Reply:

We do offer a stainless-steel hitch lock suitable for the 2-1/2-inch Class V factory-installed hitch on your 2011 Silverado. TowReady lock # TR63253 features a stainless-steel pin and a chrome-plated lock assembly. The linked video will help to illustrate its features and operation. This lock has a 3-1/2-inch-wide center span and includes 2 keys.

The lock you referenced, etrailer.com part # e98881, has a center span of 3-5/8-inches and will fit a Class V 2-1/2-inch hitch receiver, but this pin is not stainless steel. Rather it is double chrome-plated.

The other lock you describe (with the red anodized end piece) part # 1469DAT from Master Lock, is slightly too short to fit your factory hitch and it is not stainless steel.
