Yes, the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Head Assembly part # BWRVC3006 will work on the Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and the Base for B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch.

If your 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 is a short bed then you will want to use the Replacement Slider Base for B&W Companion Slider 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVB3405 but if it is a long bed then you can use the Replacement Base for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVB3500.

Please note that the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches cannot be used with rotating pin boxes.
