I will be happy to make a 5th wheel hitch recommendation for your 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500HD long bed. First you will need an installation kit. You can use Curt installation kit # C16411-204. This is a custom installation kit so there is minimal drilling required for installation.
For a 5th wheel hitch I recommend the Curt Q24, # C16245. This hitch is rated for 24,000 pounds, has a secure double-jaw designed, and the head is cushioned for a smoother ride.
To add an in-bed 7-Way trailer connector to make hooking up the 5th wheel trailer easier you can use # C56000. I have linked a video review of this harness as well.
