For the money, I would get the tow package just for the transmission cooler alone. I think any Transmission expert would say that excess heat is the #1 killer of transmissions and having this cooler can do nothing but increase the longevity of a tranny under any conditions.
I have the 17" wheel package on my '05 and really like the look of the wheel. However, I agree that the stock tires that come with this wheel package may be suspect. In less than 1k of driving I have already acquired a slight "shimmy" in the steering wheel at highway speeds that I suspect is a tire out of balance or even a bad tire all together. As the dealer is an hour away, just have not had a chance to get it checked-out.
Good luck with your purchase.
