Assuming that your 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD has an 8 foot bed, the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # C16115, will work for you.
If your truck isn't already equipped with compatible 5th wheel rails, I recommend going with the Curt Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, # C16411-204. These custom fit brackets mount to existing holes in your Chevrolet Silverado's frame to minimize drilling which helps cut down your installation time when compared to installing a universal bracket system.
