Default What all came with the tow package in 2008?

I've got an 08 1500 QC, 4.7, 2WD. I'm pretty sure it didn't come with the tow package, and I'm curious what all it would have come with. From the factory, my truck had a 4-pin connector hanging down at the rear bumper. I added the OEM frame hitch myself. What else is included?

The first one came with Class III Hitch

I believe the 2nd came with a Class IV Hitch....

Correct me if I'm wrong...

Yep Class IV hitch, 4 and 7 pin connectors and a slightly larger tranny cooler. That's what I know off the top of my head since my truck has this tow package

Yes, type III and type IV.. I forgot the transmission cooler... as my Ram has a manual transmission.

I also have the TrueLock.. but I am not sure if that was in the Towing package.

because I like a manual transmission AND a limited slip differential ,,, when the weather gets bad.. I can drive out of it with this stuff.
