For a tonneau cover to fit your 2017 Ford F-350 with an under rail toolbox, we just want to make sure that there will be enough clearance around the rails for the hardware that will be required to mount the cover. If the toolbox sits completely below the rails on your truck, we don't need to worry as much about the cover fitting over it, so there are quite a few options to choose from.

I recommend the BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK39331. This is an extremely durable aluminum and vinyl hard cover that acts as a soft cover because of its ability to easily roll up and out of the way when not in use. I like the roll-up designs, especially when used with a 5th-wheel hitch because it will roll up towards the cab but will not completely obstruct your view out of the rear window. This is a nice "peace of mind" factor to consider when you are pulling your trailer. This cover is custom fit for your Ford F-350 and has an easy, no-drill installation. The tonneau's frame rails will clamp to the inside of your truck bed side rails to create a base for the cover. Included bolts will then be used to secure the front hinge rail to the frame rails at the cab. You will just want to make sure that there is some space around the toolbox and the rails of your truck for the necessary hardware to be mounted.

For a more economical option, I recommend the TruXedo Lo Pro QT Soft Roll-Up Tonneau Cover # TX579601. This soft tonneau cover is also custom fit for your vehicle and has a snap-in QT header guide that allows for easy installation and removal.
