Helpful Expert Reply:

If you are asking about a 2017 GMC truck with a factory gooseneck, the Companion will not work for you. The factory gooseneck on GM trucks is made by Curt.

If the 2017 GMC truck has the factory 4-puck system in the bed then you can buy a replacement base that will allow you to install a companion fifth wheel hitch head on the base and use it in the pucks. For the replacement base you would need part # BWRVB3700.
