To convert your Curt Q20 to fit the factory rail kit of your 2017 Ford F-350 you'd want to replace the base with a fixed leg kit that fits the Ford rail kits of your truck with part # C16017. You'd attach the head center section of your Q20 to this and you'd have a fixed hitch ready to drop in to your Ford OEM rail kit.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
