ok, so it is time to replace the rack. there is play on the input shaft. ford wants 2600. so I am going to do this. first thing is ordering the part,
MAx tow option? If i have read right the max tow is not an option on a 2011 5.0L.
is that correct?
Then i will have to learn how to used forscan, or get one that has a programming obd with it. Why do they recommend that you program it after the alignment?
thanks

According to the 2011 F-150 order guide it was available (and standard) on the FX2/4, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Harley Davidson, Lariat Limited.

The VIN would tell the Ford dealer if it has max tow. The only engines with max tow will be the 3.5 eco or the 6.2. And it will have the big tow mirrors..

thanks, i am still a little confused. i will ask ford. i have the 5.0, and the smaller mirrors on a 4x4 supercrew lariat. so if the 5.0 does not come with tow max, then i should be good i asked the service advisor, and he was clueless. i will ask the parts guy?
just trying to find out. the window sticker does not say towmax. the original sticker is in the truck.
