• 2014 Toyota Tacoma Transmission Temperature Gauge Kit
  Hey Jay, thanks for reaching out! Our transmission coolers are designed to help support a factory cooler as opposed to replacing it altogether, so you won't want to replace it. With that being said, I have a few different options you can look into. You can never cool your transmission coolant too much so adding a cooler is still okay to do, and if you choose to go that route, I recommend using the Derale # D13502. Then for a gauge (so you can keep tabs on the temperature) we have the...

• Recommended Towing Products To Allow 2000 Ford F-150 To Safely Tow 3000-4000lb Boat Trailer
  I would be happy to help, but there are a few items you listed that are not commonly used on a boat trailer. Typically boat trailers do not use electric trailer brakes thus eliminating the need for a trailer brake controller or controller wiring harness. Boat trailers more commonly use surge brakes which are hydraulic and use a surge brake coupler to control the braking force. Some surge brake actuators use an electric reverse lockout solenoid, so if the boat trailer you purchase has one...

• Parts Needed to Equip 2014 Ford Escape for Towing Small Pop-Up Trailer
  According specs I've located online, the 2014 Ford Escape will have a 2000 lb towing capacity if equipped with the 1.4L engine or 3500 lb if equipped with the 2.0L.

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation and Comparison for a 2015 Honda Odyssey

• Transmission Cooler for 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  Ideally you'd run a second cooler after your factory cooler but based on your cooler being separate from the radiator and more or less similar to a supplemental cooler if I were you I'd replace it with something larger and more efficient like the Derale # D13502 that you referenced. For max cooling you'd keep the factory cooler and install the # D13502 downstream of it.
