If you do not tow, no advantage whatsoever. The tow package is an auxiliary transmission cooler, a engine oil cooler, stiffer suspension, and I'm not sure what else. But gets expensive if not needed. The 8-speed is kinda cool, but again only really needed for towing, and I mean towing very heavy loads. There are NO disadvantages. Only cost.
