I'm currently towing with a 2008, CCSB F250, using a Pro Series 20K Reese. My current bed height unloaded is 37" and my bed rail height is 19.5". My current truck squats big time w/the trailer hitched. I know Ford's stats for the 2017 list the bed height as just 37.6", however, I've measured a new one (not mine, still waiting on order, but should be same truck) and the measured bed height was actually 40". The 2017 has a taller bed rail at 21.5". I am also fairly certain that the 2017 will not squat nearly as much as my 2008. All this considered, even with adjusting my hitch height, I'm afraid I'm going to have trouble getting the trailer level with the new truck, and maintain adequate bed rail-cap clearance.
