The best trailer hitch receiver we have for your 2017 Ford F-150 is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C26HR. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver is made right here in the USA and it has a 10,000 lb maximum gross trailer weight rating. It also comes with a lifetime warranty and offers a completely bolt-on, no-drill installation.

In order to complete your towing setup you may also need a wiring harness, ball mount/hitch ball, and possibly a brake controller if your trailer has electric or electric over hydraulic brakes. If you would like for me to recommend any of these additional parts for you just let me know what (if any) trailer connectors your truck and trailer have that way I can make sure you get the correct parts.

I have attached an install video of the trailer hitch for you in the meantime.
