Front Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-150 for Snow Plow

Question

Question:

I have a Meyer Homeplow which mounts using a front receiver hitch. I just got a 2017 F150, Meyer lists Curt 31070 for this application, this model seems to be old and no longer listed in Curt website fit guide. With this model 31083 work for the plow application?
