NX 450h+ Towing Package
Anyone with a 2022 NX 450h+ get the factory installed Towing Package? My car came with the Towing Package, a $160 option, but I am unable to get an explanation from Lexus regarding what exactly the package contains. A Lexus representative from the East Coast (I'm in Calif) responded to my question but was unable to provide specifics other than "it can tow 2000 lbs."
Previous Lexus models with a Towing Package have included upgraded radiators or other cooling system parts, possible suspension changes, but so far it seems for my $160 option not sure I got anything but ink on the window sticker. Hoping someone else has looked into this. Thanks for any help! BTW, perhaps it's just a profit padding, and the car delivered had dealer installed front side window tinting (dealer says they do this for all their cars). Since I waited 6 months, and totally happy I got it at MSRP, and was generally treated throughout the process very well, I am of course very happy with the car, though only driven it about 5 miles so far. Got it home, garaged it, waited for appointment with PPF and Ceramic Coating shop. Get the car back this week! Then the learning curve begins!

I dealership told me it adds a transmission oil cooler and a slightly larger radiator. So far, I think I've seen maybe 20 window stickers for different NXs, and Every one of them so far has this option.
[Edit:] found this over in the 1st gen forums, and assume the same is still true:

Sounds plausible. I just wish Lexus USA would confirm! Unlike previous generation models with a "Tow Package" there is no written documentation of upgraded mechanical equipment (that I have seen). Thanks for the info!
