Default new to Forum and F150

just bought a 2014 F150 Sunset Metallic Ecoboost.
picked it up yesterday. it's replacing a Sunburst Orange Avalanche.
i bought a new bigger and heavier travel trailer and the Avy just wasn't cutting it anymore.
my new to me F150 has 500lbs more payload and the Max Tow package, along with the integrated brake controller.

can't wait to take my first trip towing with it.

Could be wrong but I think max tow package includes large towing mirrors. I have a 2014 with the tow package and mirrors look like yours. My sons max tow F-150 had the large tow mirrors. Not trying to be negative, but there is a difference on the tow rating. Might want to make sure yours has max tow package.

Also, being an XTR means it is a Canadian truck. Check it thoughorley for rust on the undercarriage, cab corners, etc.

Yeah, at least the base package tow mirrors should be on there. I agree with the rest of these guys. Powerscope mirrors were an option for max tow, but it's an upgrade.

at least, not with the Canadian version. the window sticker clearly lists 7650# GVWR Package and Max Trailer Tow, under Optional Equipment.
