I occasionally see VR6 EVs for sale, listing "tow package" among the
features and options. Was this a factory option package? What was
included? How can I distinguish a tow-package vehicle from one with
just a hitch receiver that was added later (like mine was)? Thanks
for the info!

I concur with hitch and wiring, "Tow Package" is just hype. However, I
would be cautious about a Eurovan that had been used to tow stuff; it 'seems',
repeat 'seems', that such a vehicle is at higher risk for transmission failure.

Not positive, but I am guessing it is just the hitch and wiring. The only options available for
my model year were heated seats and a sunroof. The brochure did not list a tow package.

This is correct. There was no "tow package" for the Eurovan. It's merely owners that are taking creative liberties and literary license with their description of the tow hitch they fitted.

Some ads seem to be generated by choosing items from a list of
attributes. It may be that the only way to select "has a hitch" is
put a tick mark in "tow package". Somewhat akin to selecting "2
Cylinders"
for a Mazda Rotary engine (which actually does not have "cylinders" at
all)

Thanks for the comments affirming my suspicion that it's just the
receiver and wiring. Since I added those myself, I suppose I could
just as well add "tow package" to my van's list of features. Nobody
would be scared off by impending transmission doom - it's a 5-speed.
The only danger of towing might be roasting the clutch.
