Has anyone been able to determine what the difference is on a car with the factory hitch vs. without as it relates to other non-hitch-components such as oil cooler, alternator, etc.?

How is the factory trailer power connection wired vs. the splice job as shown in the Stealth Hitch instructions?

Reviewed RealOEM and training docs, you're not getting added equipment or suspension when you select factory towing package.

Only notes are for when you have 2-axle air and using towing.
