We have a really nice selection of fifth-wheel hitches available that are confirmed to mount directly to the factory pucks in the bed of your 2017 Ford F-250.
If you have an 8 foot bed, I highly recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3300. The Companion line is considered by many to be the best fifth-wheel hitches on the market and this unit is made specifically for your F-250. It features 1 inch thick dual jaws that provide an excellent connection with the trailer king pin and a fully articulating head to ease hookup. It will attach right to the puck receivers in your truck without the need for any additional parts. It has a towing capacity of 20,000 pounds.
If you happen to have the 6-3/4 foot bed, I recommend the B&W Companion Slider # BWRVK3370 instead. This hitch has all the same great features as the above mentioned model but with a sliding base. This will provide 12 inches of front to back travel to help give you the needed cab clearance during sharp turns.
I have attached a couple short video demonstrations on these hitches that you can also check out.
