Which Gooseneck Hitch For a 2017 Ford F-350 Without the Factory Prep Package
Question:
I have a 2017 F350SRW and I want to get a gooseneck hitch for it. I am not sure how to check if it has a factory prep kit or not. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks

The OEM "prep" package just refers to already having 4 puck style mounting points and a gooseneck hitch already installed in your truck, so if you don't already have one then you will want to select the choice for a 2017 Ford F-350 without the OEM Prep package.
The best available gooseneck hitch for your 2017 Ford F-350 with the single rear wheel is the B&W # BWGNRK1116, which is renowned for their durability and quality. This hitch will install without any drilling required since it uses existing holes on the frames and the removable hitch ball stores in the hitch when not in use; B&W hitches are also made in the USA.
If you'd like to add trailer wiring into the truck bed to make connecting your wiring easier I recommend using the # C57008, which will install into the wall of the truck bed. This is a great solution to add some convenience to your towing setup, and it installs easily by teeing into your factory wiring.
It doesn't sound like you've got the OEM prep package in your truck, so you can choose whichever gooseneck hitch that you'd like. I've linked some review and installation videos of these parts for you to check out.
