That would be a build sheet code.

Trailer Tow Heavy Duty
​​​​​​
53A HD Towing Package (RV & Towing Guide)

Trailer Towing Package (Window Sticker)

Includes on 5 0 V-8:
HD Engine Cooling (According to RV&Tow)
HD Brushless Fan Motors (According to RV &Tow)
High Output Fans (According to RV&Tow)
Prewired for ITBC
4-Pin & 7-Pin Trailer Wiring
Class IV Hitch 500/5000 (Weight Carrying) - 1160/11600 Weight Distributing
Pro Hookup Assist (Lines on Camera - if they haven't made it standard)
Pro Trailer Backup Assist
LED Trailer Hookup Light

What it doesn't include:
Auxillary Trans Cooler (All non-Raptor 10R80 use only a single large Liquid-to-Liquid Cooler sourced from SuperDuty).

Questionable:
Oil Cooler - Standard on Ecoboost. Not sure if 53A adds it to 5.0 or not.

Disclaimer: the items with a source listed have not been personally confirmed. We know there are some discrepancies on some as built trucks vs RV & Trailer Towing Guide.

He got the code off of the build sheet.

OP if you will download the trailer tow guide, it will specify the options required for the Maximum Towing package.

Sorry. Gene beat me to it and did the work for you.

Thank you for the info we just bought a 28 foot trailer with a gvwr of 9000 lbs dry weight is 6700 so will never be near the 9000. Nice to know what the codes are.

​​​​​​If the 6700 lb is brochure weight expectnrougjly 7500 lb with batteries, propane and options and the inevitable "overage". If it's as built calculated weight it will still likely be roughly 7200 lb. Add in 400-500 lb of stuff (it adds up fast,) minimum water in blackwater tank and a full fresh tank and you will be surprised how heavy it will end up.

8000 x .13 = 1040 lb
9000 x .13 = 1170 lb (
Going to be close on hitch
By the time you add a WDH (100 lb) make sure you are going to have enough payload to carry your passengers. Yellow Sticker in door.

You will have to check gears but I assume even 3.31 will tow more than you can haul (truck GVWR).

I think you also get a heavier sway bar. I tow a heavier camper than yours & do it at high altitude. That makes the Booster a necessity to make up for the lack of O2. I added E range tires bilstein 5100 shocks & a jewel called Roadmaster active suspension. Difference in handling is incredible. These trucks can tow a lot of weight but a camper is a big box of wind resistance & quite different than towing bricks on a flat bed. You need stability.
