I came here wondering the same thing. I just got my truck in and it had the stickers, which probably work just as good. You think there would have been a discount on the tow packages if it didn't come with the box. I'm sure the stickers will work just fine.
I know there was another thread...
My Lariat 4x2 is quite. I like the quietness of the stock exhaust too. Just got the truck yesterday and was on the interstate and before you knew it I was at 85 mph, felt like I was crawling....
I was never a Ford fan and never owned one. When it came time to buy a truck, honestly to me it was the best looking and the only one that I could get a discount using the X-plan with my company. I'll be picking mine up in the morning.
