Not all tow packages include a controller. They do include pre-wiring for a brake controller.
It is just a very easy way to start out when figuring out your truck. When I bought my F250 in 2008, the built-in brake controller only came on Ford trucks that had a "tow package", which included some other features for towing.
That's all.
