Welcome back Rick. To use a TorkLift hitch extender in your 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500, you'll have to replace your factory hitch with the TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Hitch item # TL74FR. Unfortunately, the TorkLift Cannon Hitch Extension item # TLE1642 for Ford 3" receivers can not be adapted or modified to work in a 2-1/2" hitch receiver.

The TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Hitch item # TL74FR is custom fit and has a 20,000 lbs towing capacity. It includes both 2-1/2" and 2" hitch receivers and includes all hardware necessary for installation. This hitch looks really great when installed as the two stacked receivers sit directly beneath your rear bumper.

There's a few different length options for hitch extenders that work with the dual receivers on the TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Hitch item # TL74FR. I have listed them below by length along with the accompanying 7-way extensions, which I highly recommend purchasing if you're planning on towing a trailer with brakes:

32" Long - TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension item # TLE1532 - 7-Way RV item # TLW6032

42" Long - TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension item # TLE1542 - 7-Way RV item # TLW6042

48" Long - TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension item # TLE1548 - 7-Way RV item # TLW6048

What do you plan on towing behind your Silverado and how long of an extension are you needing? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

@RickD That makes sense. I wouldn't want to do that either. The 34" long Curt Hitch Extension item # C45048 is the longest one we have available for a 2-1/2" receiver. It has a 4,500 lbs towing capacity.
