Expert Reply:
You will need to add a set of industry standard rails to your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500. I recommend the Demco Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Hitches item # DM39FR. The brackets are custom fit and install in pre-existing holes in your Silverado's frame. These rails will work with most 5th wheel hitches and the following Demco AutoSliders:
18,000 lbs Capacity - Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider item # DM8550034
21,000 lbs Capacity - Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider item # DM8550035
To make towing with a 5th wheel easier, I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 7' Long item # C58FV. This harness puts a 4-way and 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your 5th wheel trailer easier and more convenient.
