Hey David,
For a 2016 Chevy Silverado 3500 I recommend the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for GM Trucks # VGM-14-4000. Since this replaces the entire tailgate and there isn't a mount for the factory backup camera I recommend also picking up the Custom Third Brake Light Camera System w/ Rear View Mirror # 3460014 to make backing up into a parking spot or when trying to couple up to your trailer easier.
This would replace your factory rearview mirror and have a built in screen that activates when the truck is in reverse. The camera has a mount that will sandwich behind the third brake light so you'll be able to see the pin box coupling to the hitch much easier.
