Question about max trailer tow package

You can get max trailer tow with the Ecoboost too, not just the 6.2
http://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/specifications/payload/
It also increases both the vehicle GVRW, and it's payload. Reading between the lines, I'd assume either bigger springs, or more of them.
On top of that, you should get the integrated trailer brake controller, and tow mirrors.
They both have a class 4 hitch reciever, 7 pin wiring harness, upgraded rad, aux trans cooler and selectshift trans.

i looked at a lariat ecoboost with the trailer max package and decided not to get it because of the big ugly *** mirrors that were not electric folding. except for the mirrors and built in trailer controller i believe my truck is exactly the same as the one with the max package. same suspension, same rear gearing, same cooling, same transmission.
correct me if i am wrong.

The only facts are:
The most significant upgrade is the 350-450 pound higher GVWR which at 10% tongue weight means up to 4500 pounds more real world towing capability, despite less than 2000 pound rating.
You can get the 3.73 gear without max towing package. You can get almost everything in the package except the GVWR/payload sticker and maybe anything that is required to get that higher GVWR.
