11" Wide x 7-1/4" tall x 7/8" deep, efficient heat exchanger will prolong the life of your transmission and improve its overall performance. Specifically designed for Toyota Priuss with late-model, electronic overdrive transmissions.
Features:
Specs:
Note: The Derale Insta-dapt radiator adapter fits most vehicles with 5/16" transmission lines, but not all. In some cases, additional fittings or alteration of the OEM lines or hoses may be required for installation.
One of the more popular cooling systems available, the radiator-style, plate-and-fin heat exchanger provides increased surface area so that fluids can spread out along the finned chambers to cool faster. In addition to the increased surface area, this cooler also features turbulator technology, whereby fluids are agitated continuously, not only to facilitate heat transfer, but also to prevent any undesirable drop in pressure.

Top brace added for support.
Buy the extension hose Derale 13003, you'll need it on a 2016 Odyssey (Napa can't help you, this is an odd size hose, force 5/16" or 3/8" on at your transmission's peril $$$$! Decent cooler, simple.
Great product. Super easy to install on my 2009 V6 4Runner. Keeps my transmission nice and cool. I did buy a little bit of extra hosing to mount it further on the other side of the car. But otherwise a complete kit for mounting it.
Cooler came just in time. I installed it in my 2010 Subaru Forester so that I can safely pull my trailer without boiling my transmission. Glad to say I needed no special fittings to get the job done. The cooler looks well made and the size is just right...anything bigger would be a tough fit.
The installation was straightforward, and the temperature difference after the cooler was significant. This cooler will place additional years to the life of the transmission with 230,00 miles.
As far as I know, it's working well. I did the install so I could tow with my 2011 Honda Odyssey. I paired it with an etrailer power steering cooler.
Install was fairly smooth. I had more issues with broken fairing fasteners than I did with this cooler.
I used a bluetooth ODB reader to keep tabs on transmission temps while towing a small 4x6 enclosed trailer approx 400mi one-way. Empty weight was around 300lbs, we may have filled it to 1K lbs. Temps were in the mid-upper 80*f range, all highway driving along mostly flat roads.
I did a lot of googling to try and find aceptable temps, good luck.
Later on I used a small utility trailer to move an entire 3K Sq ft home. Distance was approx 1/4 mile (close by). Transmission temps remained good after many round trips. Fluid color remained acceptable.

Since last review I rented a uhaul 4x6 enclosed trailer a few more times to help someone move. Still no tranny or steering issues. Transmission fluid still remains an acceptable level of pinkred. Additional upgrade has been a pair of Timbren rear suspension enhancement in prep for my next trailer adventure. The factory bump stops were damaged. The Timbrens are supposed to handle the constant contact as the rear end sags under load. Ill provide an update on those after the trip.
This was fairly easy to install. As far as I can tell it's working great. I am trusting that it will help extend the life of our transmission and keep things cool when we travel to the Rockies later this year.
Excellent transmission cooler with fairly easy installation. I chose to mount mine to brackets in front of the radiator rather than by pushing mounting rods through the radiator condenser. Plans for my 4-cyl Tacoma were initially for pulling a utility trailer out to my land and back. Wife wanted to get an RV and take trips. All of my purchases and installations from etrailer were based on the expert advice from the sales people. And, I actually purchased and installed all the parts before we bought an RV. This shows you that the installation videos are spot on. I could never hook up a trailer and 'try it out'. But everything worked perfectly. I kept all the weights under limit, used a weight distribution hitch, brake controller, Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, and side mirrors, along with the class III hitch, and 4 pin and 7 pin wiring harness that I installed.
My Tacoma is only rated for towing 3500# but we never had a problem pulling a 3000# load. 65 was tops on the speed and that was on a straight road.
My scan gauge indicated that my transmission temp stayed at 165 except for when we traveled through stop and go city traffic. Then it rose to 185/190 for short times. Back on the road and it dropped to 165/170 a gain.
I was really impressed with this little cooler.

Still going strong after a year.
I installed this trans cooler in a Toyota FJ cruiser that I use for occasional towing of trailers/loads up to about 4500 lb. The cooler, of course, is hidden away in the engine compartment so I don't really see it. It does the job I expected, keeping the trans fluid within range with no drama. I am quite satisfied with it and recommend it.

Still working, no issues at all. I use the FJ to tow an overlanding trailer and occasionally a flatbed with a tractor on it. No increase in transmission temp for either situation. So the cooler works. Its just there. No drama, no issues.
i do the ordering and my husband does the changing of shipping times after the order is placed. e trailer excelled in assisting me with all these things. Outstanding company with ultra nice customer service folks. Will do business here again and again.

As expected.
So far so good. Just installed the cooler a couple days ago getting ready for a move trailing a full load for 1000mi.
Install guide and descriptions are very generic and therefore require a bit forethought and pre-work.
Will see how the product will hold up in the long run.
Shipping and transactions with etrailer have been excellent once again.

The product has been working fine and just as expected. Have not had any issues since the big haul last year.Definitely recommend this product for anyone in need of.
I have is d Etrailer 8 or 9 times. Everything I've ever bought from Etrailer has been great. The installation videos alone are great, but the the thought that goes into the gagets they ship with the hitches to get the job done at home is amazing. There customer service is great also. I didn't need one of the parts I purchased so I returned it with no issues or hassle. Thank you!!! It's rare to find a company with values like yours.

The cooler is a great add-on to help guarantee the life of my transmission in my 2007 Chevy Trailblazer.
The size was perfect for mounting just behind my grill and well in front of the stock radiator with barely any modification/trimming of the surrounding plastic. I have no real world temperatures but I am happy knowing the the temps in my transmission are at least a little bit cooler.
The only mist-step is the included mounting pieces. While handy to get things in place after forgetting to pick-up bolts, washers and nuts, the plastic ties really didn't hold up well for the 2 weeks until I removed them. They also don't play well with the bendable mounting kit unless you have something to eat up the space when the ties are tightened as far as they can go. Again, it's minor and had I remembered to purchase the hardware I eventually used prior to the actual install, I probably wouldn't even be writing this.
Also, the hose is certainly not long enough for my application.
I had this installed in my 2008 Nissan Titan to prevent transmission overheating. My Titan has the big tow package, max tow is 9,400 lbs and comes with a factory transmission cooler but it just wasn't enough to keep the gauge out of the hot zone when towing heavy. After installing this I pulled my 5000lb 27ft camper in 104 degree heat up hills and with a head wind, the gauge never left the normal temp range area. I would buy again. I do recommend this transmission cooler for additional protection against heat.
We use this to help us tow a 3,000lb camper with a 4 cylinder Tacoma. It works well. We didn't like the plastic mounting hardware to piggyback it onto your existing radiator so we used thick zip ties to mount it to the radiator frame.
The hitch assembly that I purchased from etrailer.com for my Honda Odyssey and the transmission cooler are working fine and I have pulled my 1972 Shasta camper several times without fail. I'm very pleased with the product quality and the easy to follow instructions included.
The install from what I remember a year ago went better then I originally expected as far as not having to tie it to the radiator. Simply haven't had any problems with it. just glad it's there and allows me to bypass the overheating from the radiator. I've also had to have my trans rebuilt sense installing the cooler but that was going to happen anyways, but knowing the cooler is there makes me not worry about any life being taken away from the trans rebuilt. Now I'm looking for a necessary engine cooler but couldn't remember where I got the trans cooler from.. Now I do!
Had an automatic transmission that would overheat pulling a trailer up a steep grade on rough dirt roads. Put a deeper aluminum oil pan on it but still had the problem. This cooler has cured that problem. Wasn't too bad to install. It didn't come with enough hose for my application though so I deducted a star
I installed this cooler on our 2006 Sienna to extend its life while towing our R-Pod 172 trailer. It appears to be doing its job, and after a year everything is still in it's place. Installation required a tiny bit of tinkering to route the hoses and zip ties, but it all went about as expected. The job was done in an afternoon (I am handy enough, but definitely not a car mechanic). I did wrap and tape some sheet metal around parts of the hoses to protect them from getting cut where they would otherwise be pushed against sharp edges. See photos.
Previously installed cooler from Etrailer in a 09 Odyssey. Hauled trailer all through WA, OR, ID, WY, UT, NM and CO (crazy high passes) with no problems.
New cooler is for '13 Jeep GC. The cooler came with clear instructions and all necessary fittings. I will mount it on aluminum brackets to bumper behind grill rather than plastic rivets to rad.
Thank you.
Purchased a Tranny cooler from Etrailer a year ago and it has worked out great. Parts shipped out quick. Everything was of the highest quality. Very easy to install with the bracket kit. I will be sure to use Etrailer again.
Great quality easy installation. Make sure you know which hose goes from and goes to your radiator for proper installation, your dealer DOESNT KNOW and wont be of any assistance lol this will ONLY work on Sienna XLE or Limited with tow prep package. The upgraded radiator has the trans cooler lines.
This was recommended by etrailer for my Traverse. It was fairly easy to install, (mostly with help from YouTube videos). I took my time and it took about 3 hours. If I did it again it could probably be done in an hour or less. It's been a year of towing an 18' ski boat and it has totally done the job. That adapter that is recommended with this is vital as far as I can tell.
I am glad to have purchased this cooler. I live in an area that gets fairly hot during the summer. I feel safer knowing that my transmission has extra cooling. The cooler was easy to install, the instructions were clear. Thanks
