Yes, it will. The Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter w/8" Offset item # AM3139 will definitely work with the standard 2-5/16" gooseneck hitch ball for your 2024 GMC Sierra's factory prep package.

I don't have anyway of knowing what pin box your 2023 Palomino Puma has but this adapter is designed to be used with standard pin boxes only. You can not use it with a cushioned or air ride pin box.

You will need the Slide Hammer for Ranch Hitch 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter item # AM3103 to complete the installation.
