I'm not sure where you saw that prohibition, but you could certainly use a Curt Double Lock Flip and Store Gooseneck Hitch like # C607-649 to tow a horse trailer with your 2017 Ford F-150 with the 6-1/2 foot bed.

If you'd care to install a 7-way trailer connector in your truck bed so you don't have to run the trailer connector cable up over the tailgate, you can do so using part # C57008.

I've linked to install videos for the hitch and trailer wiring harness mentioned above.

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.…
