New VA 2027 F250 7.3 owner

[obsessive car disorder]

Hello All,

Just purchased a 2027 Star White F250 Tremor with the 7.3.
Super nice truck. This rides so much better than the F350 Lariat I bought in '88. That truck passed everything but the gas station with the FI 7.5l 460 5 speed. It was vicious in every respect. Especially unloaded ride.
Got the Ultimate and Preferred Lariat pkgs the Blackout. Was going to get the Neptune Blue and saw this, decided on it.
I come from a long line of F150 ownership, Have had 3) 3.5 ecoboosts, a few Triton 5.4's and my first new car was a straight 6 '86 F150 with 4 spd.
Got that one for $11,000.00.
Anyway I do a lot of in-car instructing @ road course race tracks up n down the East Coast and have a 28' enclosed car trailer, this truck will laugh at.
Spend some time in my Jeep TJ, along with 2 M3 BMW's and a Golf R. All manuals. Yes, I am single, and I have a problem.

Have been reading the forum here and appreciate all the info contained within.
Hope to meet any of you if ur here in the DMV.

Appreciate the Nice Welcoming! Thank You

I've always loved mechanics, working on things. Replacing and improving them, even though my sister doesn't agree. Its funny, She can't understand it. I know you guys do, though.

Looking at some of the posts on here, I see some of you have just as bad a problem if not worse so this helps in justifying mine!

I have a HD bed mat that I bought for my 1986 F150, and I have carried it forward to this day. It's fit all of my trucks perfect, but it's a little bit too short now for the F250.
I ordered a rough country rubber mat. to go over the factory spray and liner.
I hope it's as nice as the one I bought in 86, which is still going strong.
Also was irritated with the rear seat headrests. My '18 F150 ecoboost has a botton to fold them down.
I took one of them out and put it in the F 250. perfect fit, so I ordered two black ones off of eBay for 100 bucks as my interior is saddle instead of black on the 250.
Other than that, I think the truck is pretty well optioned and I haven't really determined what things I might wanna do further
I need to get a 2 inch insert for the recivver so that my Equalizer weight distribution hitch will fit into it for the trailer.

I know being here is going to cost me a lot of money if I keep reading, but that's how it goes, and I'm OK with it

Welcome aboard and congrats on the new Star White 7.3! Lots of good info in here. I'm on the 6.7 side with a 2026 F-350 Tremor, but plenty of 7.3 guys around to compare notes with. That should be a great tow rig for the track trailer. What are you planning first?
