Default Trailer hitch sticker worn off

I'm trying to figure what class of hitch receiver I have on my 2013 F150 XTR XLT, but the sticker is worn off. Us there another way to tell it's ratings? Is there a way to tell?

If you have the sticker there is. Tow package will be 1150 pounds, Max tow 1250, if neither package 1050. Those are the WDH ratings. I think all of them are rated at 500 non WDH.

They are physically different, so you would have to look at the different hitches to figure it out. The Max Tow has a thicker plate that goes up into the bumper along with where the safety chains attach, and the other tow are similar to each other, the difference being the safety chain holes being slightly different to each other.

My 2012 with tow package has a 1050# tongue weight rating (with WDH of course).
