That matches what you can check for yourself at www.jeep.com.

See no additional transmission cooler for the 4.7 with the
5 speed auto.

Would it cost you more than the $255 to get the
wiring and hitch properly installed aftermarket?

You *do* get a "Trail Rated" badge if this is a 4wd.

Granted this may only be the jeep website, but it looks like with
the 5 speed auto and the 4.7, you get the 3.55 rear even with the
trailer package.

I don't think Jeep has shipped a 3.55 since 1997. To the best of my
knowledge, it comes with a 3.73. Both of my wife's JGCs came with a 3.73
with their towing packages.

Yes it could be either way, I thought I read somewhere that the 4.7 came
with the 3.73 axle.
but I could be wrong.
On the jeep web site, if you look under Grand Cherokee Special Edition,
check, the trailer tow
group, it lists the cost as $360 w/ 3.73 axle.
But if you choose the 4.7 engine first, the price of the tow group drops to
$255 and there's
no mention of the 3.73 axle.

So whether this means the 4.7 comes with the 3.73 axle
or the 4.7 towing package uses the 3.55 axle I'm not sure.
