Okay sorry for the shorthand (ie option code).
Foot Note #3 on the Towing Charts
"Medium Duty Tow Package - Class IV Hitch".
It's how Ford describes the 53B Option Code if you run an ETIS on the truck.

Only weights I was concerned with then was not going over 80K gross and 12K axle weight. Carry on.
I already have a 52,000 GVWR Truck and it would be a tight fit in some of these sites.
