Towing package extra cooling--is it different than stock?

Towing package extra cooling--is it different than stock?
I recently bought a new '07 Ram QC 4x4 with a 4.7L SLT
It does not have the towing package, but it does have an oil cooler, is that normal, and is there a difference in the radiator or trans cooler or oil cooler in the towing package? It seems to me all you might be getting different is the extra 100 cranking amp battery and a tow hitch, possibly more radiator cooling or trans cooling, but the oil cooler looks identical...
Can anyone confirm my suspicions?

what i undertsood was that it came with:
hitch receiver
wiring harnesses ( 7 pin and the normal )
upgraded battery
upgraded transmission cooling ( my tranny cooler has an electric fan and is quite large too )
and the 3.92 rear end
i just wish they would come up with a factory brake controller thatwas dash mounted.

emerald--you could be right...I didn't assume the trucks would need a power steering cooler, typically that stuff is in the realm of top end sports cars...I'll look closer. Thanks for the input!
a4twenty-- Is your trans cooler and fan mounted directly in front of your radiator?
You're right on the gears, I think. Nobody wants to tow a lot with tall gears so that would make sense.
I agree on the brake controller, that should be standard these days with a towing package.
