I purchased a 2014 5.7L V-8 Limited with the factory installed group IV tow package. Sounds good. One of the items listed as being included with the towing package is heavy duty engine cooling. Could anyone tell me what that is? Does this tow package include a transmission fluid cooler, larger radiator, or engine oil cooling unit? Thank you!:lol:

If you look in the owner's manual, I believe it shows larger cooling capacity for the coolant fill.

The radiator fan and cooling strategy are also different. Standard cooling has a simple two-speed fan...the HD cooling option has a higher-capacity fan that has variable speed controlled via PWM.

The contents also vary with trim/suspension type and engine choice.

Do the trailer weight (6,200lbs) and tongue weight (620 lbs) specs in the owners manual (as shown below) apply to the Trailhawk?

Yes. Those are the towing limits for the Trailhawk or any other V6 equipped post MY14 "WK2" JGC that has factory towing, either standard like the Trailhawk or optional where available.
