For your 2017 Nissan Titan with 8 foot bed, I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Nissan Titan - Carbide Finish # C16470-204. It will require you to drill 5 holes in your truck frame, but will also utilize other existing holes in your frame for a custom fit. I've attached the installation details to assist. This is not a difficult installation for someone comfortable with a tape measure and drill, but having the room under the truck to mover freely to drill makes the job much easier.

I then recommend the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16140 and the wiring harness # C56000 to give you a clean connection with easy access.
