I am looking at the Lariat which comes standard with :
4-pin/7-pin wiring harness
Class IV trailer hitch receiver
Smart Trailer Tow Connector

I am wanting 3.73 gears.

I was going to buy the 53C Max Trailer Tow Package and then add the 3.73 gears. However I was not sure that was the best idea since the ONLY things the Max Trailer included that was not standard with Lariat was:
Integrated Trailer Brake Controller
Upgraded front stabilizer bar
Auxiliary transmission oil cooler
3.55 Gears ( I don't need if I order the 3.73)
Upgraded rear bumper

I figured I would be able to add an aftermarket Auxiliary Trans cooler and at some date an aftermarket Front Stabilizer bar.

Also it looks like the 67T Trailer Brake Controller could be added as an option. I am not sure if it is an Integrated Controller or not. I would assume it is...

Anyone know what the Upgraded Rear Bumper consists of? Other thoughts?

On the previous generation F150,(2011 - 2014) the hitch is different. It has higher capacity. I would buy the max tow package. Also be aware that you may have payload issues. An 8,000lb trailer can have a 1,000lb tongue weight and you'll need a WDH (100lb) so that must be subtracted from your payload capacity. On the previous gen trucks, a Lariat would have about 1,400lb payload. Take away 1,100lb and you don't have much left for people and gear. Now the new gen trucks are lighter and so may have more payload capacity. If not, you should order the HD Payload Capacity package.

So I was going to just stick with the 53C Max Trailer Tow Package and add the 3.73 gears but according to my dealer you can NOT add the 3.73 gears without the Heavy Duty Tow which is NOT available with the LUX Lariat package.

Go figure. As my sig, I have the XLT with HD Payload with 3.73. I like it a lot.

I have a 2014 xlt with the max tow 3.73 but NOT the HD payload package

Steve Osborne

higher package you get more options and less payload(what you need to haul)...

Feathermerchant

Can you get the HD Payload on the Lariat?
I looked but did not see it.
I was trying the build. I found it here:

Yes but only on the base 500A Page 13 of the order guide almost at the bottom of the page.

Ford seems quite limiting in selecting trucks with 3.73's, which is by far the best ratio to have if you go EcoBoost...

Even on 2014's.

kbass - Do you have a link to the order guide?
