I would be happy to help!

For your 2017 Ford F-250 with the Short Bed I recommend going with the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP87FR as this rail kit is the exact same as the OEM puck system and will allow you to use any 5th wheel hitch designed for Fords OEM pucks.

Then for the 5th wheel hitch I recommend going with the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w Slider for Ford Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3370. This hitch is made right here in the USA, has a 20000lb trailer weight rating, and gives you 12" of travel for increased trailer to cab clearance when making sharp turns.

I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
