Guess you’re so excited with the gorgeous new wheels, you missed spellcheck.
Title should be “new to me tow vehicle”?

That truck is a gem!!! Great payload capacity and tow package. You will tow your trailer with ease.
You going anywhere this weekend? I will be at Deception Pass St. Park.

I love the back up camera! Our last trip I was able to back up perfect in one try! Wife looks at me and says " I guess I'm (her) getting better at giving you backing directions!" Didn't have the heart to tell her it was the camera and I really paided no attention to her! Nice looking truck...love my ecoboost.

Very nice! 
Looks like a great combo! 
We looked at a couple '14's but the mileage was 60K & 80K on them and they were only $5,000.00 less than our new '17 so we bought the new one.

Have you tried cargurus.com, cars.com or autotrader.com?

Never been to cargurus, but have the other 2. Don't remember being able to be that specific on options when searching.

Just keep narrowing it down, and I think by filtering the "fuel" and "model" you should be able to narrow it down

Just checked out cars.com again since it's been a while since I searched there. They have lots of options listed, but MaxTow isn't one of them. I did do a keyword search. Had a MaxTow or 2 show, but lot's came up that weren't. Looks like it'd be pretty hit and miss doing it that way.
Edit: Actually only looks like one of them is a MaxTow out of the entire list even after applying the search keyword. 16 and newer are hard to tell, though, since the mirrors became optional.

I had no problem finding ones with the Max Tow Package.
It was the HD Payload package that was rare as hens teeth.

Still beats the hell out of driving from lot to lot. And you can always call each lot that has one to learn the options on that particular vehicle!
There is probably even a VIN number/letter designation for some options like max load so you could look for that in the VIN online

Congrats I just bought a 17 sure is nice to drive. Haven't had a chance to tow with it yet. Here in Utah almost all the ones I looked at had max tow but they were new ones?
