Default Tow Package or not?

Hello all o/
After 18 years of owning Rangers, I now own my first F150, 94 2wd.
I'm replacing the shocks & front coil springs, But it appears there's a difference between a standard & one with a tow package.

How would I find out if my truck was or was not equipped?

If you have the tow package you will have one or two plugs totaling 7 wires at the drivers side rear by the spare tire that are for the trailer plug. In addition you will have a factory transmission cooler if you have the auto transmission, and you will have an extra relay box behind the under hood fuse panel.

I wondered the same thing with mine. I have a regular four pin on the back and an oil cooler up front, no extra fuse/relay box. I think my stuff (hitch receiver and four pin connector) were added by a previous owner, but wasn't sure if the oil cooler was just something that came with our trucks.

I have a 96 F150 4x4 with the tow package.
Tow package includes the transmission cooler, trailer jack(my truck has the 7-pin) and a jack under the dash (center) that is for hooking up a brake controller. The wiring harness to connect the controller to the jack also came with the truck. I am not sure about any extra fuse/relay box.

Do you know what the one under the center of the dash looks like? I think I remember seeing something...
