The best way to match your trailer with a weight distribution system is by the tongue weight of your trailer; your trailer tongue weight should be at least 10% and no more than 15% of the GVWR. Assuming that you load the trailer so you're in that range then you'll have roughly 800-lbs to 1200-lbs total tongue weight, so I recommend using the Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - 6-Hole Shank - 10K GTW, 1.2K TW # BLU75FR. This weight distribution system is designed for trailers with tongue weights between 800 and 1200-lbs and provides you with a hitch that also has 2 point sway control integrated, so it's got that added benefit.

This shank that comes with the # BLU75FR system will fit in the 2" receiver on your 2017 Ford F-150 Eco-boost.
