Easy Way to Monitor Transmission Fluid Temperature of 2020 Subaru Outback When Towing

Question

Question:

Want to add a transmission cooler to try and keep transmission temps at or below 175F while towing an 1100+/- pound pop up trailer with electric brakes. I see a few options using a OBD dongle + free apps on the Subaru forums but am wondering if your team has any recommendations, Thanks!

Your transmission fluid temperature is information that the vehicle computer already has so the easiest solution would be a monitor like the Edge Insight CS2 part # EP84030 which plugs into the OBDII port and will display it easily. I wouldn't recommend going the route of an analog gauge as that's just going to be a lot of work and trouble when the info is already collected and just needs to be accessed with a monitor.

Hey Dave yes, the 22-1/2x49 Curt Cargo Carrier #C18113 is perfectly acceptable for your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and will work great with a 2" class III trailer hitch. I'm not too sure what you plan on hauling, but you'll need to keep it…

I spoke to Lippert and was able to determine that you have a Lippert Rhino bolt pattern so the Gen-Y Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Auto Latch - Lippert Rhino - 21K GTW - 3.5K TW #GY98GR that you were looking at would be a fit. Gen-Y…

Hi Dave; yes, the Curt #C94WR also fits the 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. You can actually see it on a hybrid model in the picture I added to this page. The hitch has the 2" receiver you need and a max tongue weight of 525 lbs to handle your bike…

Hey Chris, Our Fitguide can be a bit confusing sometimes. Essentially the whole category is broken down into whether they fit diesel or non-diesel models. Since the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver #EH37FR fits both gas and diesel…

Answer 9

I'd begin by contacting Forest River to ensure that the frame members at the rear of your fifth wheel have sufficient capacity to carry the weight of the carrier and the scooter without damaging anything. If Forest River gives you the go-ahead,…
