Expert Reply:
The B&W Companion Flatbed 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3050 that you referenced will mount to your 2014 Sierra 3500 as long as you have a B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch installed. For the Turnoverball hitch that is confirmed to fit your truck you can use # BWGNRK1012-5W. If you do have a flatbed truck you will want the Turnoverball # BWGNRK1500 instead.
It is important to note that the Flatbed Companion will sit very low on your truck bed (10-1/2 inches from the bed to the top of the hitch). If you don't actually have a flat bed truck, this may lead to interference between your trailer overhang and your Sierra's bed rails. We recommend having at least 6 inches of clearance between the top of the bed rails and the trailer overhang.
For the standard, non-flatbed version of the Companion I recommend part # BWRVK3500-5W. It will provide you with a 20,000 pound towing weight capacity and features a hitch height of 16-1/4 inches to 18-1/4 inches.
