The Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550024 referenced in your question is designed specifically to mount to the factory 5th wheel pucks on a Ford truck. It will not work on your 2017 Ford F-250 that doesn't have the factory prep package. The Ford pucks have a different configuration than the Demco Underbed Rail System that is used for the standard Hijacker models.

The Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550022 that you also mentioned is what you need for your Ford F-250 along with the Demco Underbed Rail and Installation Kit # DM8551009. The rails include custom brackets that use existing holes in your F-250's frame rails so you don't have to drill into them and the underbed kit allows for a completely clean bed when the hitch is removed. The autoslide feature on the Hijacker also allows you to stay in the comfort of your cab when making sharp turns with your trailer.

I have attached a couple short video demonstrations on this hitch that you can check out as well.
