Yep, that should be the Tow Package.

Sorry, it's a 4x4 SuperCrew. So I'll assume the lowest rating of 7,500 lbs or 7,700 lbs. What's confusing on the guides is the different GCWR. Some of them have a dash instead of a number. It's probably something silly I'm missing, but what gives?

If you could find that truck with the 3.73 gears (axle codes 26 (open), B6 (LSD), or L6 (e-locker)), you should have a much better safety margin (9,300lbs towing, 15,100 GCWR).

an FX4 with the 5.0 is much more likely to have the 3.73's than any other package.
I'd agree that the 3.73's are the preferred option for towing, but they can be hard to find with the 5.0
