The Curt Fifth Wheel, part # C16536, should work well for your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. This slider hitch features 12 inches of travel front to back and a height adjustment from 17-1/2 to 21-12.2 inches, and has a gross towing weight capacity of 20,000 lbs.
I also recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, part # C16411-204. Since this is a custom fit kit it cuts the installation time in half compared with a universal system.
I have attached a link to an installation video of a fifth-wheel hitch on a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado.
If you need a 7-pole connector in the bed of your Silverado, I recommend the Pollak Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, part # PK11893-11932. This attaches to the existing wiring at the rear of your truck. I have attached a link to an installation video for this wiring harness you can check out.
