HD Tow Package?

I just bought a 2013 Ford Expedition EL Limited and am looking to get a toy hauler for it but don't know how to tell if I have the HD Tow Package for it. Is there a way I can tell?

Maybe the dealer could tell you if you told them the VIN.
I think the heavy duty towing package has air shocks in the back. If you look under the back where the coil springs would be located you will see rubber cylinders.
Also you should see air bag system options in the Message Center above the steering column.

Thanks Richard. I do have the air bag system option in my Message Center. And I also noticed I do have the class IV hitch and 7 pin hookup.

Hotrod,
I just remembered an HD tow package would include a transmission oil cooler in the deal. I think that would be located up near or in front of the engine radiator.

Air suspension and HD tow are not tied together. The 7 pin, class IV and tranny cooler make it HD.
