The best option for base rails for your 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6-3/4 foot bed are the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56017-53 because the rails are an extended length so you can install them on the outside of your rails, making this the easiest base rail kit to install. The brackets on this kit do not require any drilling into your truck frame either, which is great for your truck and also eases the installation. Additionally, this kit comes with a lifetime warranty.

The other option I recommend checking out is the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50074-58 which is also a custom fit for your '17 F-250 and will not require drilling into your frame for installation. The difference between this and the aforementioned outboard kit is that this one does not have the extended length rails which makes the install a smidgen more involved, and this kit also has a 10-year warranty as opposed to a lifetime warranty.

I have added links to video reviews as well as an install for you to check out.
