Tow Package verses trailer hitch package

Tow Package verses trailer hitch package
I often see people claim they have tow packages when selling 1998 4 runners, but I see no difference in the set up from a trailer hitch. I know there is a big difference in some models, but I am not sure what it is. Does anyone know for sure what is included in the tow package on a 1998 4 runner compared to just a trailer hitch?
Here is what the 4th generation spells out;
TOW PACKAGE [3] -- Includes tow hitch receiver, trailer brake controller prewire, 4.300 rear axle ratio (4.100 on 4.6L V8), TOW/HAUL mode switch, transmission fluid temperature gauge, supplemental transmission cooler, engine oil cooler, 7-pin connector and heavy-duty alternator and battery.
I am interested in a 1998 third generation. Was there a difference in the tow package and just a trailer hitch package?
Thank you.
