Recommended B&W 5th Wheel Hitch for 2017 GMC 2500HD
Question:
I have a 2017 GMC 2500HD DENALI I would like to use the 5th wheel hitch BWRVK3700, I already have a BandW gooseneck ball system but I dont have a OEM puck system like a 2018 would have. I would like to get a OEM under bed puck system for my truck. What is the one that I can get to use and keep my BandW gooseneck?

I have a solution for you, but there is not an under-bed kit you can use that isn't going to mount to the same spots as your current B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck hitch. In order to tow a 5th wheel trailer, instead of the B&W # BWRVK3700 you mentioned, you'll want to use the # BWRVK3400-5W for short bed trucks or the # BWRVK3500-5W for trucks with an 8 foot bed. Both of these 5th wheel hitches will mount in the gooseneck hole on your Turnoverball setup and provide you with 20000-lbs of towing capacity for a 5th wheel trailer.
I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to have a look at, as well.
