The taillight connector is behind the plastic panel behind the spare tire. Remove the panel, unplug the factory connector and plug the "T" trailer wire adapter into the 2 factory connectors.

A factory "tow package" usually consists of factory installed items such as a bigger/optional engine, heavy duty cooling, higher numerical gear ratio, bigger brakes, tranny cooler, etc., etc., etc. Seldom is a hitch or wires provided by the factory because there are so many choices. Having an electrical plug for trailer lights does not mean a vehicle has a tow package and can tow heavy loads.
