The only front mount trailer hitch options for a 2017 Ford F-150 are the ones that mount below the bumper such as the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C31083 which is what I recommend and will fit EcoBoost models. The EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receivers like part # 306-X7904 are not available for the F-150, partly due to the large intercooler on the EcoBoost models.

That said, the Curt hitch is not a bad option at all and won't reduce your ground clearance either really since it sits inside the lower fascia. The only drawback is that you do have to cut a hole for the receiver tube to poke through but this is barely noticeable which you can see in the attached photo.
