Does the max tow package automatically come on the truck if it has the 3.73 gears? This one had the 3.73 but payload was only 1200. The salesman said it had the max tow but I don't think so. It didn't have the inter grated brake controller.

Salesman lied. Max tow comes with 7600 gvwr, integrated brake controller, beefier receiver hitch, and Dumbo towing mirrors.
That's the problem when you get a loaded truck, it's payload is so low it can't be used as a truck.:S
The 3.73 gears are an option for a 5.0L truck as a standalone axle. The 3.73 gears are part of an optional package for Ecoboost trucks. Either part of the Off Road package, part of the Max Tow package, or can be had separately on the FX4 Off Road model.
That low payload 1200 lbs Ecoboost truck most likely is either a FX4 or Lariat model, or is an XLT model with the Off Road Package. Just remember to test drive a lot as Off Road shocks (Off Road package or FX4 model) 'usually' aren't as good as standard shocks when towing.
