There is not currently a Reese under-bed system confirmed to fit the 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, we do have a couple of other under-bed options for your vehicle.

If you have 4WD without the factory rail kit, I recommend the Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, # BWGNRK1116-5W, which is designed to work with B&W Companion hitches# BWRVK3500 or # BWRVK3400. The main difference between these is that the # BWRVK3500 is a fixed hitch, which makes it ideal for 8-foot truck beds. The # BWRVK3400 has a built-in slider, which helps provide turning clearance for truck beds between 6 and 8 feet long.

The fifth-wheel trailer wiring for the 2017 Ford F-250 with factory 7-way is # C56000.

If you would like to stick with the Reese brand, we offer the above-bed Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Outboard Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, # RP56017-53. This kit includes the custom brackets,10-bolt base rails, and hardware necessary for installation. It is compatible with a variety of hitch brands. Because it is a custom kit, installation time is also cut down drastically (compared to a universal kit). This kit would pair nicely with the Reese M5 20K 5th wheel hitch # RP30928.

I've attached a few product review and installation videos of these products for you.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
