I spoke with a representative of Demco who confirmed for me that you will need to use Demco Hijacker Autoslide Capture Plates # DM6171 along with the Demco Hijacker # DM8550024 fifth wheel hitch if you have a Trailair Flex Air such as # LC328492.
The Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550024 is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Ford F-250 with the factory prep package; I've added a link to a video review of the hitch and capture plate for you to take a look at as well.
