Tow Package & Max Tow Package
Sorry if this seems lame but i am sure other people are wondering too....
What is the difference between a truck with a tow package and the same truck with a Max Tow Package?

Max tow gives you
Factory tow mirrors
Trailer brake controller
Bigger radiator
More payload
Different leaf spring in back
If u have ecoboost you already have the bigger rad. Max tow gives you 11,300 tow with ecoboost. I don't have max tow, but have 9800 tow.
I'm sure I've left something out. Lots of threads in here if you search a bit.

This is gonna be a general answer and hopefully someone can back me up with the numbers.... The max tow package is rated at a higher tow weight..... I think.... It has heavier shocks and upgraded class of trailer hitch receiver. I'm not sure on the specifics though.

Per the Ford brochure the Max Tow Package includes an upgraded rear bumper and manual telescoping/folding trailer tow mirrors. There is increased payload and towing ratings.

I can understand how they get more towing from an "upgraded bumper" reciever hitch. What I don't understand is how they get more payload if everything else is identical. I think Ford just cut payload from the regular tow package to have less than the max tow so it will be that much more appealing and saleable since you can buy all of the other stuff aftermarket. That's just my opinion.
