Default Difference between towing prep and towing package?

Many CL members are referring to a towing prep and I am not sure if thats any different from the towing package?

The towing package includes tranny oil cooler, hitch, 130 amp alternator, and expanded capacity radiator.

The RX we're look at right now has what looks like an aftermarket hitch, but I couldnt see if it has the tranny oil cooler. How much does it cost to add a tranny oil cooler and is this part interchangeable with the Highlander?

My 2c ... I would not recommend using RX to do serious towing that you need the extra cooling etc.

In other words if you have a hitch use it for light (bike) or a trailer (once in a year).
