Need to identify fifth wheel hitch

BIL bought a 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 HD Denali dually and it came with rails for a fifth wheel hitch but not the companion. Looking to identify the proper hitch for the rails that are currently in the truck. See pic attached.

Also, can someone please provide an education on the "best" fifth wheel hitch available?

I know that in my case I own a travel trailer and I went with a ProPride hitch, said to be one of the safest and well designed hitch on the market. Is there a similar fifth wheel hitch? By similar I don't mean by design....I mean most innovative or safest.

I use a Curt 20k hitch. Those look like standard rails that most 5th wheel hitches will fit. Just get one rated for at least the GVW of your RV.

I would rather a B&W patriot but they don't have one rated for that amount of weight

Truck: 2015 GMC Sierra 3500HD Denali diesel dually

5thW: 2018 Jayco Siesmic 4212 triple axle weighting ~17k lbs

Thinking the hitch should be rated at no less than 22k lbs

Suggestions on hitches? No gooseneck

I will work on posting to another service to get the pic posted

Thanks all

Pic comes right up for me. It appears to be just standard rails, mounted in truck bed. Most any hitch will fit standard rails, but not all. Lots of good hitches to be used. It is best to get hitch rated to handle the load carrying capacity of the truck.
