Question on max tow package vs regular tow package ony 2010 fx4
Hello all. New user here. Boy there's a lot of good info on here!
I bought a used 2010 fx4 super crew and and am trying to determine I it has the max tow package or the regular tow package.
It does not have the big extendable mirrors but it does have the TBC
Not sure if it has the "upgraded bumper". Hard to tell the difference.
99.9% sure it has the standard 4x4 rear shocks since I see nothing that says rancho on them, and they're standard black.
The weight rating on rear axle indicates that it may have the upgraded rear spring but I am certainly not sure of that.
Here's a pic of my vin sticker (is that what's its called?)
Can anyone decipher if this truck has the upgraded rear spring?

If you do not have the towing mirrors, you don't have max tow. It sounds like you have the trailer tow package that has trailer sway control and the trailer brake controller.

You do not have max tow. Here is a link to look at your window sticker

I also have the black shocks, but I thought the FX already had the better shocks and off road suspension.

I think the only difference is the mirrors and the bumper and maybe the gear ratio. Max tow is 3.73 and I have 3.55. From what I can tell the radiator and oil coolers are the same size, at any rate I don't have Max tow either, only the tow package with the brake controller and I pull this with no problems.

Max tow on pre-2011(?) F150s did not necessarily mean 7700GVWR or the towing mirrors. Did they even have 7700GVWR on pre-2011 F150s?
My 2009 had max tow as an option on the window sticker but it was 7200GVWR, had the 3.73 axle, and had the regular mirrors. I think it simply meant 3.73 axle on the 2009 model year?
Here is the window sticker for my old truck:
