Yes, thanks. I'm a happy camper now.
I can go off my diet now and go buy stuff to fill the 7000 pound load capable trailer.

There is in fact 2 tow packages,the heavy duty and the regular towing package. the heavy duty has every thing the regular plus a beefed up rear axle w/ 101/4" gear set and 4:10 gear and 7 lug wheels. its only availbe on the xlt and xl reg., and scabs. when reading these charts remember to seprate the gvwr from the gcwr. the gvwr tells your payload, the amount of weight your truck itself can haul. the gcwr is the loaded truck plus the loaded trailer. the heavy duty towing package doesnt increase the payload or towing capacity enough to talk me out of my fx4. i dont think i'll ever miss that extra 1000lbs. but then again my truck is always over loaded lol. thats where the f150 really shines if you ask me. its really built to be worked hard.
