• Is a Weight Distribution System Needed for 2002 Toyota Tacoma Towing a 2011 Jayco Swift Camper
  I would start by checking the owners manual and confirming the 3500 lb towing capacity with Toyota. In my research, I found mentions of a Tacoma with the 4 cyl motor having the 3500 lb capacity and the 6 cyl having a 5000 lb capacity. Anytime the whatever is being towed weighs more than half the curb weight of the tow vehicle (which applies in your case) a weight distribution system is recommended. Given the tongue weight of your trailer, I would recommend the Reese Trunnion Weight Distribution...

• 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.

• 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...

• 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.

• 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...
