Bought my first new truck yesterday!

Here's a link to my TBN-assisted thought process:

I replaced a 2003 F250 with frame rot
.
This is a 2016 F250 XLT, 4x4, Crewcab, shortbed, SRW. Had to search to find one with the bigger 4.30 electronic locking rear axle.
Rated for 12.5k at the bumper and 15.1k with Goose or 5th wheel.
It has adjustable pedals, backup assist, snow plow prep pkg, and the XLT value pkg. I put new BFG KO2 A/T 18" tires on it. Line-x basic bedliner, B&W turnover Gooseneck hitch, and line-x'ed 3 hoop-step rails are going on in a couple weeks.
I want a wireless magnet backup camera for bumper-pull hook-ups if anyone has a recommendation.
Haven't towed with it yet. Probably next weekend.

The built-in trailer break controller (with computer managed sway control) can be pre-programmed/customized for each trailer. It even keeps track of miles for each trailer (handy for trailer maintenance I think).

Truck technology has come a long way since 2003.
