picking up a new '27 Tremor Platinum Plus this weekend

Seeing the truffle interior is much different in person than photos for me. I thought it was way too light colored but it is more of a medium color and looks VERY noice. (27 F450 Plat plus delivered to me in about 3 weeks)

Don't forget to air down to 40 psi to give this new truck's ride quality assessment half a freakin' chance!

this requires a forscan tweak - correct? any difference in MPGs?

FORScan to lower "placard" tire pressure - I run 40 cold and have mine set to 30 psi within whichever PCM module it is - it's been awhile, and I'll be damned if every time I try to use FORScan it seems like the very first time. I always lose a few more brain cells than I usually lose when I'm just minding my own business.

Perhaps .5 MPG - other than trying to run 10 psi at 70 MPH (and we all know how that would turn out) the greater influence to MPG is a tire's tread design and pattern.

is the receiver the standard 2.5" on the F-350 Platty? I don't think it's 3" until you get the 450 - correct?

need an adapter for my 2" ball hitch

My 2027 has a 2.5" receiver. I believe that is the norm on at least the newer model Super Duty Tremors.

They are all 2.5 on SRW. There should be an adapter in it already. Mine was under the rear seat. It’s in the scrap pile now.
Don’t know whatcha tow, but the sleeve reduces the rating. Can’t recall by how much though.
Welcome to the club! Best color choice. Not that I’m biased.

oh cool so there should be an adapter already...
our current trailer is only 6500lbs so it shouldn't make any towing difference
