• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 1997 Honda CRV with Best Cooling and Ease of Installation
  I would recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, item # D13502, for your 1997 Honda CRV. This cooler will be more than adequate for towing the weights you will be towing. You can not cool transmission fluid too much so the larger the cooler is, the better. We have a video installation of this cooler on a 2006 Honda CR-V that will be very similar to the installation on your 1997 model, see link. If you would like a smaller cooler you could go with the Derale Series...

• Best Transmission Cooler for 2020 Toyota Tundra With 5.7L V8 Engine
  The best transmission cooler for your 2020 Toyota Tundra with a 5.7L V8 engine is the Derale Series 8000 Transmission Cooler # D13502. The reason this is the best cooler is because the Series 8000 is a plate-and-fin cooler, which means it uses smaller plates that cover more area than other coolers in order to agitate transmission fluid in your Toyota. Because you cannot over-cool fluids, the rule of thumb with transmission coolers is that size matters so the large 11" wide x 7-1/4" tall...

• Transmission and Power Steering Coolers for 2015 Jeep Patriot
  The 2015 Jeep Patriot with either 2.0L or 2.4L engine does have a towing capacity of 1000-lbs; the 2.4L models with the Trailer Tow Prep Package (AHC) or the Freedom Drive II Off Road Package (AWL) can tow up to 2000-lbs trailer weight. You can see these towing specs in the page from the owner's manual (page 179) that I linked for you. Towing capacity for any vehicle is determined by the auto maker and adding aftermarket products does not increase it. Installing a hitch with a higher rating,...

• Will the Edge CTS2 Increase Fuel Mileage When Towing a Trailer with a 2015 Acura MDX

• Will Derale 16 Pass Electra-Cool Transmission Cooler Fit a 1999 GMC Sierra
  Transmission coolers are universal fit items, they are not vehicle specific. So long as you have the space needed to mount it, this cooler can be used on your 1999 Sierra. The overall dimensions for this unit are 15-3/4 inches by 11-1/2 inches by 5 inches. You should have plenty of space in front of your radiator that you could mount a traditional transmission cooler like part # D13502 or part # D13504. There is enough airflow over front mounted transmission coolers that a fan is not necessary.

• Is A 1.25 or 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver Best For My Honda Odyssey
  When choosing a trailer hitch for your 2011 Honda Odyssey, picking a hitch that is 2" will allow you to utilize the maximum towing capacity allowed by your Odyssey. A Class III hitch like Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75270 is more studier than a Class II hitch # C12031. When it comes to choosing products to carry, such as a cargo, bike rack or trailer accessories there are more products to choose from that fit a Class III trailer hitch with a 2" receiver rather than a Class...

• Recommended Transmission Cooler and Hitch for 2019 Kia Sorento LX V6 2WD
  The maximum towing capacity is determined by the lower of the weight capacities for your vehicle and the hitch that is installed on it. So if the weight capacity of your vehicle is lower, that will be the limiting factor. The towing capacity won't be changed by the weight of any passengers or cargo in your tow vehicle. According to the owner's manual for your 2019 Kia Sorento, if you have the 2.4L or 3.3L engine without trailer brakes, you can tow up to 1,650 lbs, or 2,000 lbs with trailer...

• Which Transmission Cooler is Recommended for a Nissan Frontier with 6,500 Pound Towing Capacity
  The best way to decide which class cooler you need is to take a look at what you will be towing and where. If you will be towing a light load, less than 2,000 pounds, in flat driving conditions, your vehicle will do fine with a Class I. If you will be towing 6,000 pound load through some hills, I would use the Class III cooler. I prefer the 8000 and 9000 series. They are built a little heavier and are more resilient. The 7000 series are built a little lighter and can be damaged more easily...

• Can Aftermarket Transmission Cooler Be Installed In 2017 Ford Explorer W/ Class III Tow Package?
  Based on the brochure I was able to find from Ford regarding what is included with the Class III towing package your 2017 Ford Explorer with the 3.5L V6 actually does not have a different transmission cooler than the standard Explorers. Your towing package includes an engine oil cooler, trailer hitch receiver, and 4-way/7-way connector. With that in mind I do recommend adding an additional transmission cooler, # D13502, to keep your transmission cool when towing. This will get installed...

• What is Meant by the Different Classes of Transmission Coolers
  Transmission and oil coolers are given class designations since we are in the towing business and those who tow are used to seeing class designations on hitches, ball mounts, etc. The idea is to give a general idea of the cooler's capacity, so if your vehicle has a class III hitch then a class III cooler should be fine. However, since coolers are NOT vehicle-specific you can use as large a cooler as you have space to mount it. There are various types of coolers and they can be either...
