Educate me on the 2016 F450 -- looking at a new one

I was looking at the 2017 F450 but there are some serious deals out there for the 2016 F450.

You can see my current ride in my signature. I know the F450 will tow the 18,000 lb,. 5th wheel trailer I have.

Will I need air bags? --- to level it out
Is there Tow Haul now or is it exhaust brake?
Does the rear seat fold up for storage? (my 2008 does)
Is the Snow Plow package that much different than the Camper Package? (both give you stiffer front springs)

Headed to a dealer on Wednesday to check out a Platinum -- your help would be appreciated.

You will not need air bags. It is difficult to squat the rear of that truck. I have had some serious weight on mine. There is a tow/haul mode and an engine braking system. I use it every time I pull. Ecause you never know when an idiot will pull put in from of you. There is storage under the rear seats also. I am. Ot sure about the differences between the camper and snow plow packages. I just traded my 2016 f450 with 42000 miles for another 2016 f450. Basically the same truck just with a different color interior. Now is the time to buy a 2016 because they want to clear them.out before the 2017s come in.
