For your 2018 Chevy Silverado with a 6-1/2' bed and factory rail kit I strongly recommend the B&W Companion # BWRVK3770, which has a 20,000 lb capacity like you wanted and is the sliding version to accommodate your Silverado's bed size. The Companion is considered by many to be the highest-quality fifth wheel hitch available. With more than 450 reviews from our customers who have purchased it, this hitch has gotten a nearly unanimous 5-star rating.

It features dual jaws which are a full 1" thick to provide complete contact with your king pin so you can have faith that your connection is completely secure. I've added a picture of the jaws so you can see for yourself how impressive they are. The Companion is also going to give you a much quieter ride with less rattling than other fifth wheels due to that secure connection, along with the polyurethane bushings it has.

This hitch also has a pivoting head to make hooking up easier, a cam-action latch to deter binding, and offers three different height settings to ensure you are level with your fifth wheel. I've added links to video reviews of the Companion for you to take a look at as well.

To add a fifth wheel wiring harness you need the Tow Ready # 20110. I've added links to video reviews and installs of both the Companion and harness for you to take a look at as well.
