Hi Claude; the best auto slide hitch for your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 Duramax is the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # DM79GV. This features a single-piece jaw for 360-Degree jaw-to-king-pin contact and a secure connection along with a 3/4" thick locking bar. It also has a double-pivot cushioned hitch head. This hitch is designed to fit the prep package on your truck and has an 18k capacity. If you need a higher capacity the 21k # DM29GV is also available.
