Questions/suggestions for my new F350 w 6.7

Picked up our new F350 2 weeks ago and never was in the "new" body style at all, so this was a BRAND new experience to say the least. Been very busy w/ things so I haven't even had a chance to read the owners manual yet. So far this thing rocks! Can't wait till spring to put in a bigger fuel tank. Seems like back seat has more leg room than my old '03 did.

So for a couple things I've noticed:
1. Change in trans hump. Not flat like the '03. How do you keep a box of baby wipes and kleenex from falling into foot areas on either side?

2. It was an off the lot purchase and has pretty much everything I wanted. Some of the options are:
a). Snowplow prep pkg.
b). FX Off Road pkg.
c). Trailer tow pkg
d). 11,500 GVW

3. Didn't come w/ a camper package. What does that incl? More leafs in rear? Rear sway bar? Will I need to add extra leaf or 2 for our 5er (pin of 2,000)?

4. Seems like there is less room for front middle passenger than the '03.

5. Is changing the oil a pain? Same with fuel filters?

6. Anything I really need to be on the lookout for? I know kinda stupid question.

7. Came w/ chrome tube steps which are getting replaced w/ full running boards. Will be selling the steps.

8. MPG's ave 13 and that was even driving it home 140 miles on the interstate. Will this go up as it gets broke in?

I probly have more questions, but they escape me at the moment.

Thanks in advance folks. BTW, have a grin that just won't go away!!

I can't help you with all your questions but I'll try and answer what I can. I have never changed the oil but it looks very easy. There are videos on Youtube showing how. I have a 2013 and I get good mileage. High teens on the highway not towing and around 10-11 mpg towing an 11,000 lb. 5th wheel. The mileage hasn't changed much since new. Hopefully yours will. I have a 250 with the camper package. Gives you heavier springs and rear stabilizer.
I would suggest you use a diesel fuel additive. I have been using the Ford additive since new.
The 6.7 pulls like a freight train. You'll be very pleased.
Congrats on the new truck.
