The dealer is correct. The picture you have shown gives the hitch head rating...not the base.
A square tube Reese slider base is compatable with a 20k hitch head. In other words...unbolt the old 15k...bolt in the new 20k and you are good to go.
Just verify your part numbers with Reese and make sure that your base is what I am thinking of. Here are some links for you
15k hitch head
Here is the slider base that shows its compatable with the 20k hitch head.
