It is a XL model, from what I have read so far, the factory controller can be installed as long as the truck has the factory 7 and 4 pin plus 2" reciever. Having those 3 items indicates it has the tow package. Also the factory window sticker states tow package. Going to the dealer tomorrow, was hoping for more info here.

I believe all Super Duty pickups come with the "Tow Package"... could be different for the cab & chassis since they are often special use. The tow package is pretty much just the hitch and electrical connections. It's optional on the smaller pickups.
It is the "TowCommand" package that includes the trailer brake controller. Not all Super Duty pickups come with this.
In 2008 you had to change the brake master cylinder, add the brake controller, then have a dealer enable the brake controller.
I believe the brake master cylinders are the same for 2013 models, but you will still have to add the controller and have a dealer enable the feature.

Lets have a look at your window sticker. Plug your vin in this link:

I suppose you could have gotten the tow mirrors without the TBC.
Having the receiver with the connects (7 pin/4pin) comes on all the trucks. Just have the receiver does not mean tow package.

Controller is in and seems to work. Find out tomorrow for sure. I asked the service rep and he told me on average that if the truck comes wired for trailer lights then the controller can be installed and programed in. He said if no trailer light plugs, then most likely a Ford controller will not be able to be installed. Anyways, we are ready to hookup the gooseneck and haul some tractors tomorrow
