I found a very nice but basic used 2020 Unlimited JL Sport that would work for me BUT it doesn't have the Tow/Electrical package. Does this package offer additional cooling? I'm not worried about the battery or the switches and the current Owner put on a hitch with 4 pin.

Does it have anything else I don't know of??

Thank you

Here is what the tow package comes with:
  • 240-Amp Alternator
  • 700-Amp Maintenance-Free Battery
  • 7- and 4-Pin Wiring Harness
  • Auxillary Switches
  • Class II Receiver Hitch

If you're only wanting the tow package for the 7 pin harness and hitch, it's relatively easy to install the wiring for it. Did it on mine and took a few hours.

I'm not going to disagree with Hunter as that which is hard or easy is up to the observer. What I will say is that if you want the 7 pin harness, and want to do it yourself, this is a video that can help you gauge whether its worth it for you to do, have done by a dealer (North of $1K I'd guess) or pass on the opportunity to buy this rig.

We won't be towing with it at all. Just wondered if it had anything important like added cooling given I live in the desert where temps get HOT

The JK's came with a transmission cooler with the Max Tow Package so I'd be suprised if the JL's didn't include a transmission cooler with the tow package. Perhaps someone with a JL with the tow package can take a look behind their grill to see if they have two radiaters.

Our '14 & '17 Grand Cherokee's also have the trans cooler.

Suspension springs have different numbers as well, stiffer I believe. If you don't want to tow, why do you want the tow package?

All JL's come with a transmission cooler. Looks like Jeep learned a lesson from the JK tranny overheat problems.

Cool, that's what I was hoping. Thanks! :)

You will be ok. You would be better if people hadn't whined about the loud fan so much that Jeep programmed it to barely run but that's a different topic.
