Hello Brad, thanks for reaching out. For your 2017 Ford F-150 I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BW77FR. Just keep in mind since your bed is shorter than 6' you may need the 4" Offset Ball # BWGNXA4085 to provide adequate clearance between the trailer and your truck.
The videos I linked below will show you a more in-depth look at the B&W hitch.
Leave a reply with any other questions or comments and I am happy to assist.
