It looks like the 2012 Chevy Silverado 2500/3500 use B&W hitch # BWGNRK1012. The installation kit does not fit the 2017 Silverado though. For your 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500/3500 you would need # BWGNRK1016 for the full kit if you don't want to reuse the head.

If you just want to reuse the head you can. The same head is used for both trucks. The only thing you would need is the installation kit for the 2017 Silverado 2500/3500 which is # BWGNRM1016.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
