thanks

The stock Mopar hitch used on 97-01 looked like the one below. (Without the hook) You can usually pick them out because of the box on the left for the connector. Also by looking at the front grill you can see if you have a trans oil cooler installed. The stock tow package came with a cooler.

Trans Cooler

I would say the biggest tipoff would be the trans cooler. I have my '01 outfitted with a mopar class III hitch, wiring harness, etc. It looks dead nuts stock, because it all came from the Jeep parts department, but my XJ didn't come that way from the factory. The only clue that it's an add on tow pkg on mine is the B&M super cooler behind the grill.

So,,,if it doesn't have a tranny cooler, or has one different than stock (in the pic posted previously) then I would suspect it's an add on.

Up country with automatic also have transmission cooler.
