Towing package

I have a 93 F150, 2wd, ext. cab. It has a 302 with e4od trans. How can I tell if the truck has the factory towing package? I will be towing a 3600lb camper. That should be well within safe limits I would think. I have been pulling a 1800lb pop up just fine, but now I will have the extra weight plus the wind drag of the new camper.
THANKS, Jerry

On my 87 the sun visor states whenever carrying a load or pulling a trailer use THIRD gear and never OVERDRIVE. Perhaps it is different with your newer truck but be sure to check otherwise you will damage the E4OD.

Just a thought.
