Yes, it will so long as your 2017 Ford has the factory puck system. The Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ford OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package item # DM6175 attaches directly to the in-bed pucks. This adapter will provide the industry standard hitch rails that you need for the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider item # DM8550034.
