I sure can! For your 2017 Ford F-150 you will want the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # BW77FR. This gooseneck hitch fits all three bed lengths of the 2017 F-150. It comes with custom fit brackets that mount in pre-existing holes in your trucks frame.
Since you have the shorter 6-1/2' bed you may be interested in the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches item # BWGNXA4085. This offset ball pushes the connection point with your trailer back 4" to give you some extra turning clearance. It has a 20,000 lbs capacity and works exclusively with B&W gooseneck hitches.
To make towing with a gooseneck trailer easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness item # C57008. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your gooseneck trailer easier and more convenient.
