We are in the process of moving from a motorhome to a FW, so I am still learning all the ins and outs of the hitches and all that is required for them.
We are looking at a 2015 GMC 3500HD DRW that has the gooseneck hitch prep package, but I would like to use a B&W Companion hitch. I have read that the GM gooseneck hitch is actually a Curt EZr and uses a rounded shank vs. the B&W Turnover's square shank and that the two are not compatible.
My question is, does anyone know if (or can) the Curt is replaced with a B&W Turnoverball hitch under the bed of the truck, will the holes line up? Last thing I would want to do is have the two holes slightly out of alignment.
Thanks for the help!

Is it only the gooseneck prep package or gooseneck/5th wheel prep package? I only ask because you should have the center hole for the gooseneck ball and 4 smaller holes spaced evenly in the bed around the center gooseneck ball. If you have those you should be able to get the B&W Companion for the Chevy prep package item# RVK3700. Here is a link to the hitch. RVK3700
Hope this works for you.
If you already have the Companion hitch and want to reuse the hitch head, you just need the puck-mount base assembly - RVB3700. That will save you hundreds of dollars.
