According to the owner's manual for your 2017 Ford F-150, tire chains can only be used on the rear wheels, must be Class S compatible, and on 245/70-17, 265/70-17 or 265/60-18 tires.
If you have 245/70-17 or 265/60-18 tires, I recommend the Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains part # TH02230K77 as these tire chains are very easy to install (+/- 5 minutes per side) and provide excellent traction in both snow and ice. The chains only sit on the tire tread therefore there will be no contact with your wheels.
If you have 265/70-17 tires, I recommend the Thule Self-Tensioning Low-Pro Snow Tire Chains part # TH01594267. These chains are also very easy to install and have anti-scratch nylon bumpers to protect your wheels. There will be no issues using them in light snow, heavy snow, or ice.
If you do not have any of the above tire sizes please let me know what size tires you have on your F-150 and I would be glad to offer a solution for you.
