Yes, a 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed can tow a fifth wheel trailer. What you'll need is a slider hitch though to allow you to make tight turns without cab interference. I really like the Demco Hijacker Autoslide fifth wheel hitches as they will automatically slide as you make tight turns.

For that you'd want the part # DM8550034 for a 18k fifth wheel hitch. Then for a set of custom install fifth wheel rails confirmed as a fit for your 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 you'd want the part # DM8552011-71. A custom install kit like this will minimize drilling when compared to a universal kit. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
