Tow Package-High Capacity?

Flash1034 · Feb 26, 2017

Does anybody know what this "Tow Package-High Capacity" , $1100 option entails? I'm looking at a 2017 Platinum diesel F250 4x4 truck with this option listed. Is it a good option to have? Any downside beside cost?

Thanks,

The bigger Dana M275 rear axle and the 3" hitch.

I'm just going to go ahead and install a 6" receiver on my truck to get ahead of the game.

6in is so 2020. Jump way ahead to the 10in.
