There is an underbed mounting kit that will fit your 2017 Ford F-350 that is similar to the Reese you referenced. The Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion # BWGNRK1116-5W fits your truck, doubles as a heavy-duty B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch and specifically works with Companion fifth wheel hitches.
The Companion is considered by many to be the highest-quality fifth wheel hitch available. With more than 400 reviews from our customers who have purchased it, this hitch has gotten a nearly unanimous 5-star rating. The correct Companion for your F-350 would depend on its bed length; for a 6-3/4' bed you would need the sliding model # BWRVK3400-5W while for an 8' bed you need the fixed model # BWRVK3500-5W.
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. I've added a picture of the jaws so you can see for yourself how impressive they are. 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.
