2008 F-150 XL - Need info
Looking at getting another truck.
This truck came up locally for sale on CL...
2008 F-150 XL. 4.6L auto. Crew cab. 4X2. No options.
I would like to tow my 3500# boat.
Since this does not have the tow package I have several questions....
1. What was included from Ford when tow package was ordered? I'd assume...larger radiator, trans cooler in front of radiator, hitch, wiring harness with 7 pin connector, heavy duty turn signal flasher, larger amps battery, and heavy duty -higher amp alternator
2. Can these options be added or it will never be the same as if were originally added?
3. How can I look up the VIN to determine rear axle ratio? I believe it is a 3.55
4. Is this truck designed to tow without the tow package?
5. Where can I find the tow specs with and without a tow package?
6. This truck can be had for $8500. Is this a fair price?
Thanks!

Thanks for the info and links.
It is a silver one listed for $10,500.
It has 109K miles and service records for past six years. Owner purchased it in 2010 as a Certified vehicle from dealer. It is/was his daily driver. Again, it is a stock XL model with only PW,PB,PS and AC. Nothing fancy
I can get it for $8500
