Yeah- I think it was easier to put a man on the moon than decipher the tow packages on an F150!

I think the easiest way to confirm mis to look at the GVWR on the door sticker. If you have 7700 lbs GVWR you have the Max Tow.

According to my research, there are only 2 radiators on all 2011 F150's. All have an in-tank transmission cooler. An external transmission cooler is added to some.
All the fan packages are the same.

Your truck would come with a build sheet and if you have max tow package, it will have it listed. The heavy duty package is marked as 535.
The tow mirrors are not part of max tow but are listed as 60M for manual mirrors. 60P for power and 60C for the chrome power folding.

Not true. All 6.2 powered trucks are 7700 GVW regardless of max tow equipped or not. A 3.55 geared 6.2 will be 7700 and not have Max Tow.

The tow mirrors are part of the max tow package but it comes in 3 options based on the vehicle trim package. Here is my window sticker and it shows them as part of the max tow package.

Sorry.....I should have specified....the 2014 model ecoboost 4X4 only comes with a 36 gallon tank. (see comment at the bottom)

Perhaps that is the way it is offered where you are. Nice truck BTW. Mine is the same colour. I'm in Alberta. Max Tow is available without the big mirrors. Mine is that way. Never liked the look much. Also the big mirrors are available without max tow. If you check the features listed as part of max tow, it doesn't specifically list the big tow mirrors. Only that they are part of a particular trim level.
Maybe this changes with different regions.
