Installing B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch on 2017 Ford F-250

Question:

Does the provided video of the install on a 2017 F-350 DRW also cover the underbed layout of a 2017 F-250 SRW with the 6 3/4 bed? Are there additional obstacles in the way or other gotchas due to the difference in layout? It seemed like a fairly straight forward install as shown but before I pull the trigger on purchasing the kit want to know if my install will be different than shown. Thanks for the info and the site in general. Its great place to learn.

The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1116 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2017 Ford F-250 4WD with a 6-3/4 foot bed. The installation process will be extremely similar to the Ford F-350 installation video that you mentioned, which I have also linked for you to review again.

This hitch includes a custom mounting kit for your truck that will allow you to install the frame brackets without needing to drill into the frame. There should be no "curveballs" when installing the hitch on your truck when compared to the F-350 install video. You will just need to cut a 4 inch diameter hole into the truck bed for the hitch ball. This gooseneck hitch has a gross towing weight capacity of 30,000 pounds and the hitch ball can be dropped back into the hitch for storage when not in use.

I have attached the complete written installation details that you can also use for reference.
