Mine also says "Heavy Duty Towing Package" on the website and I think it's just the regular tow package because my window sticker just says "Trailer Towing Package", nothing about heavy duty. I'm starting to think that website is not quite as accurate because my truck is a non FX4 but the website shows it has heavy duty front and rear shocks.

I was curious about that too. On the etis site it says you have H/D front and rears shocks. I wonder if they are any different from the stock stocks all others have. It also states that you have the 9.75 rear end, when most have the 8.8. It lists a "trailer tow lighting module"?
I always assumed there were only two tow packages, trailer tow and max tow. Equipment package 6 is there too, what does that consist of?
The original owner definitely special ordered this truck. I didn't know you could get it with "Less Tailgate Badges-2nd Level" also.

A lot of ideas so far but it certainly seems like our arms are kind of up in the air on this one.
History on the truck is that it was a contractor in Quebec that owned it first, an MN dealer bought it at an auction. It was imported to Ohio and switched from KM to Miles and certified. The original owner put a very nice snow tire on it that you can't get in the US. I kept them for winter but because of the sensors, I have to run them over inflated. I'm for sure looking into the forscan thing.

I may be incorrect about this but my 15 3.5 eco screw lariat also listed tow package. after I bought the truck I noticed it did not have a brake controller. after not realizing it did not have I asked my dealer about the tow package and why it did not have. he said some guys use their own setup and that I had to order the max tow which the controller was installed and that was the only difference.

Yes, that is correct. The Max tow package includes the TBC. it also includes a few other things different from the Tow package. Max tow has an upgraded front stabilizer bar, auxiliary transmission oil cooler. The rear bumper and springs are also heavy duty. Someone here posted pictures of the difference in rear bumpers on here many months ago.

Look at page four, with the silver truck and boat at the top. There's a chart on the left side that breaks down the different packages.

I'm maybe going at this all wrong. Here are my questions.
How do I know which trailer tow package my truck is equipped with?
It came from the factory with 245/70/17 load range E tires, why have that on a standard load/towing truck?
Why is my TPMS set for 55PSI (+/-) 5psi or so?
I hate the way it rides with 50 PSI in the tires, but I can't run below 49 or my low tire light activates.
When I inquired about getting lower load range tires installed the dealer said the truck is supposed to have LR E's for this "special" package kinda like a heavy half. Like said before, nothing really jumps out at me except the weirdness of having HD tires on a SD truck.
