Really? Can you post a source? According to everything I've read, including what I can decipher from the VIN, it's rated at 3500 pounds.
From what I've been able to find the only things added for the tow package is hitch, wiring and a larger radiator and fans to accommodate the trans cooler. I have seen nothing indicating any suspension differences.
I won't be towing a lot but the occasional trip to Florida of 1200 ish miles round trip once a year or so.

Just picked up a '12 SEL. Seems like a nice car so far.
It's got the 3,5 V6 and I need to tow. It does not have a hitch.
I know it's rated for #3500 and I'll likely not ever get much past #2000-#2500. I've put the VIN into one of those decoders online and it says #3500 towing capacity but it does not say if it has a specific tow package and, as I said, it does not have a hitch.
My current plan is to put a Class IV hitch under it and one of the plug-n-play wiring harnesses.
My question is, "Since I don't think it really has a tow package, should I go ahead and put an extra tranny cooler on it? I'm leaning heavily towards yes but don't know if I really need to...
I may also put some air bag suspension helpers in the rear coils depending on how it sags with the bike on a trailer behind it.
I have searched but not a lot helpful out there so I'd love to hear comments and suggestions.
Thanks
New to a 2012 SEL, 3.5l, need to tow.

Well I tried to check the etis site and you have to be a dealer or repair shop to register. From what I gathered that came about sometime in the first part of this year. Is there another way to get the actual build sheet? Will a dealer give it to me?
