Sorry buddy but you are wrong and here is an example window sticker from a 2016 drw sitting on the lot.

notice the HD tow package and gear set are 2 separate options, HD tow gives you the wide track.

So if they were a package why would they be listed as 2 separate items with separate pricing?

No need to be sorry and no, I'm not wrong. They are listed separately on the sticker but are one and the same. You can not order the high capacity tow package without 4.30 gears. Order either and the other is a forced option. What do you think the high capacity tow package includes if it's not the 4.30s and the wide track? Just wide track? That certainly doesn't increase the towing capacity.

In fact, if you want to do a quick exercise, go to Ford's build and price. Change it from 2017 to 2016. Then build a DRW 350 and select 4.30 limited slip on the first page. Scroll down on the second page and you will see the high capacity tow package has already been selected. Bottom line is they are one and the same and the ONLY way to get 4.30s or wide track on a DRW is to get both as part of the high capacity tow package.
