Does the vehicle come with a tow hitch standard? Is the tow package something above and beyond that?
Here's what I have on my list for a recovery kit:
It’s not standard and runs $600 dollars I believe. Typical plug and play setup though
Usually tow straps, some chain and hooks, folding shovel, the kind of stuff you would use with a winch or high lift Jack or to pull your neighbor’s FJ out of the mud ...
Isn't there a list posted for the Sport accessories? I'm sure I saw it a while back, but was missing many of the prices.
I want lighting too and I know aftermarket probably will be cheaper with more options, but damn I hate wiring shit...especially in new vehicles. Might have to spring for the factory option to avoid it.
Can that be done cheaper after-market?
Most definitely but with the tow package It is nicely done, no hanging wires or having to wrap them around the hitch as it has a covered receptacle that is built into the hitches. I’m sure they have that after market as well just not sure on pricing. Could be lower I’d assume just depends on your market. California area would cost more, Alabama less...

So I looked up some prices in Florida and just for a quality kit with no labor attached you are looking at $340 that’s with tax. Labor would be at least 150 to 225 I’m assuming with the wiring, mounting, and other stuff especially with a booster added to your brake system. I could also be understating the labor but it might be a little cheaper than factory but remember it’s also a convenience just to finance that into the cost as well so there are pros and cons either way you go just make sure they are professional no matter where you go and you should be fine.
