Expert Reply:
We do offer both Class IV and Class V trailer hitches for the 2012 Silverado cab and chassis. All can be seen on the link provided. All require drilling and that the spacing of your frame rails be 34-inches outside to outside. The most popular among them is the Curt # C15800 which is a 2-1/2-inch Class V hitch.
Please note that one of these, part # 41936 from Draw-Tite, cannot be used with your rear fuel tank-equipped Silverado, but the others do not have this exclusion.
I have linked two helpful articles on hitch installation.
You can use the link provided to select a pintle hitch mount to fit the hitch of your choice.
