6.7L maintenance needed?
I have 225000 miles on my 2017 F250 super duty. What maintenance should i do for this summer's towing. I have never needed to do anything to this truck and hope to keep it going. I was thinking about replacing the belt and idler pulleys and maybe the water pump. Is there any recommendations. The only thing I have replaced is both battery's and the intake hose. tires and front brakes.

all the above, in addition I would lift each front tire off the ground slightly and put a pry bar under each wheel and lift the tire.
Will need someone to do that for you while you look underneath and watch the suspension components.. You are looking for wear at the ball joints.

Yep at 225k that should have all been done twice already. If he hasn't he REALLY needs to do those.

OP does not appear to be asking about "routine" maintenance. More on pre-emptive maintenance, of possible
known failure points, that are "reasonably" easily replaced, at that high a mileage.
Brake fluid is still a good one, as most don't do it in routine maintenance (heck, some never do it)

I'm pretty sure he's on top of all of that stuff by now...
I'm considering changing out the CP4 at 200k, so that might be something you want to consider.

All of the above, plus:
Even though you serviced teh front brakes, eyeball the brake pads for excess wear or abnormalities. Clean and lubricate the slide pins.
Remove, clean and lubricate the 4x4 lockout hubs. Verify correct operation.
Inspect shock absorbers and steering stabilizer for leaks, rust, or other abnormalities.
