Why would Ford build a diesel truck and not put a tow package in it?
They haven't in the last couple of decades... But there is a difference between the base towing hardware and the heavy duty trailer towing hardware. Depending on the generation of truck, that can include a bunch of upgrades including things such as heavy duty hitches, 5th wheel preps, suspension changes, engine cooling system components, trans coolers, charging system upgrades, specific gear ratios, different mirrors, and integrated brake controllers just to name a few. The specific differences vary a lot over the last several generations.
All those differences can mean the difference between being able to tow a 10,000lb trailer or a 23,000lb trailer.
