Default Finally got tired of waiting...

I ordered my FX2 1/4/11 and as of today still had no VIN #. I happened to be driving be a Ford dealer today and decided to stop in just to see if they even had anything close to what I ordered. After much deliberation and going back and forth with the sales manager I walked out with a new 2011 4x4 Screw Lariat Ecoboost. Options are as follows:
Preferred equipment pkg. 508A Lariat Series...Dont know what this is.
Angular step bar
Power moonroof
off road package
3.73 RR axle
skid plates
sony nav
Lariat plus package
tailgate step
20"aluminum wheels
trailer brake controller
leather trimmed bucket seats (black)

I'm very happy with this although it wasn't what I had ordered. I all ready called the dealer I had my order with and canceled and will get my deposit back.
The only thing I'm not sure about is the windows sticker doesn't say "max trailer pkg" does that mean this truck doesn't have it even though it has the 3.73 rr axle? Can someone clue me in on this. Does the window sticker have to say "max trailer pkg"?
This truck rocks!
Oh almost forgot the paint is sterling gray.

Not necessarily! With so many different options, packages so forth and so on I was thinking that maybe the Max Trailer Tow Pkg, might be part of a standard package or trim level. But good try!

Why not just call the dealer and ask if it has max tow or not. That seems like the easiest and better answer then asking a bunch of ppl online that have never seen the truck or window sticker in person. Just sayin

Looking at the picks of your truck you don't have the tow-max mirrors so I would say no... P.S. nice truck...

With the 3.73 Electronic Locking differential (This is what you have), the Off-Road package is included, and the Max-Trailer Tow Package is optional.

Look on the window sticker again - you should see "7700# GVWR Package" if you have the Max Tow package. If the number is lower than that, then you have the regular towing package. (If the number isn't listed, look inside the door for the GVWR).

You do have the integrated brake controller - So there is a pretty good chance you have the Max Tow package, because the Max Tow Package includes the brake controller. The GVWR of the truck is the easiest way to tell.

Keep in mind that you can have the brake controller and NOT have
the Max Towing Pkg. All King Ranch and Platinum models come
standard with the brake controller, mine did!
