Option package contents

Was wondering if anybody knew what these "packages" contained, that would not be on the truck otherwise. This is for my sig truck. They are listed on the build sheet I got from Ford.

1) Visibility Group

2) Power Convenience Group

3) Protection Group

4) Trailer Towing Package

There may be some overlap between them, but I don't know.

Didn't see that coming

Especially from you, Chris.
Oh, well. I guess I kind of asked for it, didn't I?

There are people here who know the true contents of those packages, I just felt like being a smartass for some reason.

I scanned this from my original sales brochure. The "X"'s are the options when I special ordered my '85 F250.
