I have a 2014 F150 with 5L and 355 gears. my window sticker says nothing about a tow package but I have tow/haul, brake controller, 7 & 4 pin connectors and a small (approx. 21" X 3") transmission cooler. is there something else in a tow package that I am missing? Have been towing about 5500# with no problems. Do you all think I could move up to a 7000# gvwr trailer? I have a 4X4 super crew with 145" WB. as far as I can tell I am rated at 7700# towing capacity. Any advice is appreciated!

Tow packages usually also include tow mirrors. If you have been towing without problems, no need to move up to another truck. Unless you want a new truck. Then by all means, go for it. :)

Tow mirrors were included in the Max tow package for a few years. Not on the "normal" tow package. I believe the transmission cooler only come on trucks with the tow package. There are some web sites that can give you a window sticker if you enter your VIN. OR check with you dealer. It sounds like you do have a tow package on your F150. Sounds like a great truck. Enjoy.

Max Tow has 3.73 rear end (factory brake controller as mentioned below) and I think I remember that it has a larger radiator...could be wrong on that.

IIRR if it has the 7 and 4-pin connectors it has the trailer package.Factory brake controller? The Max tow package used to automatically come with tow mirrors but I've heard that's no longer the case (can't confirm it though.)

Yes, factory brake controller. Thanks.

Towing mirrors are no longer included with the Max Tow Package on the new Ford F150s. They must be ordered as a separate optional item. Made no sense to me or my dealer when I ordered a 2016 F150.

You have regular tow pkg and the ibc comes with many packages or could be ordered stand alone.

Thanks everyone. Am I crazy to consider going up to a 7000 GVWR TT with this pickup?

I don't think so, but realize you may be stressing things and causing wear quicker than if you had the other items. I bet the towing experience itself would feel fine.

Load carrying capacity might max out. With a tongue weight of 700 to 800 pounds and the gear and passengers your load carrying capacity migh be exceeded. Just something to consider. I am not the weight police.
