Yes it did. Mine is a 7.3L and I ordered it with the sport style mirrors(which was an option with the Tow package) and I ordered it without the rear entertainment center(which was absolutely stupid as my son says). But yes, it has the towing package which consisted of a transmission cooler, hitch(all had those), 7 way plug, adapter and wiring for brake controller. I have a 6.0 L transmission cooler sitting in my garage waiting to be put on as soon as I get the grill guard off to put on the new springs. But if I recall correctly, you could order the X's with or without the rear limited slip. I believe the diesels on;y came with 3.73 from factory, but I do know that the 5.4L and the V-10s had other options for the rear gears.
Yes mine came with 4.30's ... I dont think i need the rear sway bar .. My truck only sway's if i go down on the tire psi ... I usually 70 psi even without towing i tryed 60 psi and it felt like driving and a drag race car ...

I said the same thing until I rode in my friend's '03. The biggest difference to me, other than stopping a little bit of sway, was it stopped the nose diving when the brakes were hit hard. When that happens the tail goes high and weight comes off the rear tires(like in a panic stop). That makes for some very uneasy times especially when you are in a curve. The sway bar eliminated that. The truck stays level and more controllable no matter what position the truck is in. It also made a lot of difference in towing my boat and car trailer as well.
