In our fit guide you have the option to choose whether you 2017 Ford F-150 has a trailer hitch receiver already installed from the factory or not.

Depending on the package some of the F-150's do not include any hitch receiver at all and we carry hitches that can be installed on the truck. This is how most of the hitches that we carry for the truck are designed. An example of one is the Draw-Tite # DT35MR.

We do carry one hitch, the Curt # C26HR, that can be installed in addition to the factory hitch or in place of the factory hitch.

I have a solution for you, but we do not carry Glo-Brite lights, so replacing it with the same brand will not be something I can offer you. Instead, to replace your Glo-Brite 9852-88, I recommend using the Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light #STL72RB.…
