Hey Benny, we can definitely help pick out a fifth wheel hitch for your 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 with the OEM pucks. Now you can definitely go with a fixed hitch if you have a long bed truck and/or your fifth wheel trailer has a tapered nose and an extended box. For that the B and W Companion part # BWRVK3715 would be a great choice. It has a 25k capacity, is made in the USA, and is widely considered to be the best hitch around because of how well made and quiet it is.
Now if your truck is a short bed and your trailer doesn't have a tapered nose a slider hitch would be needed. For that we have the Companion slider part # BWRVK3775 which is a really great option and similar to what I mentioned earlier except with a round tube slider. Or we also have automatic sliders like the Demco Autoslide part # DM79GV which I would also recommend highly. With this hitch it will automatically slide back as you make tight turns so you never have to think about it.
What fifth wheel do you have?
