If the truck has a tow/haul button on the shifter it has the tow package. It really is a great truck to tow with. And the CrewMax 5.7 with tow package is rated 9,900 lbs for towing. Be careful of payload though.
I believe they all have the Tow/Haul button, towing package or not, and the button is on the dash on my 2007 Crew Max 5.7 and not on the shifter, unless they moved it in later years. The towing package includes the integrated hitch, 7 pin connector, and if I recall heavy duty trans and oil coolers. 2011 might be different. As to the tow capacity, you can tow any weight you want provided you can stay within the payload capacity. That's the catch on all the 1/2 tons.
