Expert Reply:
There is a B&W Companion that will work for your 2017 Ford F-350, though the # BWRVK3300 is a fixed hitch and you will need the sliding version in order to avoid damage to your F-350's cab when making sharp turns since you have a 6-3/4' bed.
The Companion for your '17 F-350 with the fifth wheel prep package is # BWRVK3370. You have made a wise choice in fifth wheel hitch because the Companion is considered by many to be the highest-quality fifth wheel hitch available. It features dual jaws which are a full 1" thick to provide complete contact with your king pin so you can have faith that your connection is completely secure.
The Companion is also going to give you a much quieter ride with less rattling than other fifth wheels due to that secure connection, along with the polyurethane bushings it has. It has a pivoting head to make hooking up easier, a cam-action latch to deter binding, and offers three different height settings to ensure you are level with your fifth wheel. With well over 350 reviews from customers who have used it, the Companion has gotten a nearly unanimous 5-star rating.
I've added links to a couple video reviews for you to take a look at as well.
