Default Max Tow Package on XLT

Just bought a 2013 Supercrew white ecoboost xlt last night. We picked it out a few days before and signed the paperwork and all and the truck was coming from another dealer the whole reason we got the max tow package was so we could fold in the mirrors to park in the garage easier. We once we got home and tried to pull into the garage and fold in the mirrors I guess power fold and power telescoping option only comes with the lariat package? So is there anyway to swap out the xlt max tow mirrors for the lariat max tow mirrors? If so how much? An had anyone else had this similar problem? Guess it teaches me not to buy "sight unseen again!"

On my XLT is swapped out the original mirrors for the tow mirror. When I checked into it, our trucks are not wired for the power fold or power telescoping option. That's what I was told from several people at least.

They are power fold/telescoping on my 2013 Lariat F150. Maybe on trim levels below a Lariat they are manual.

But then the Lariat trim lowers the payload by a couple hundred pounds. We can't win.
