Question:
I am looking to add the parts necessary to match the factory tow package for Ford Explorer 52T. Per the Ford, I need to add the Reciever, Wire Harness and Engine Oil Cooler. I have the reciever DrawTite and harness. My question is what is the Engine Oil Cooler that woudl meet this requirement? Is it a Trans Oil Cooler or a Engine Oil cooler? I see both parts. Thanks.

Expert Reply:
To get your 2015 Ford Explorer ready for towing you can add both a transmission cooler and an oil cooler if you want. We offer individual coolers that can handle either oil or transmission fluid, and also 2-core combination coolers that can handle both.
For an efficient Class III transmission cooler I recommend Derale's kit # D13503. I linked an installation video showing this being installed in an Explorer. You'll install this cooler on the transmission's existing return line where it will provide secondary cooling of your transmission fluid.
For a Class V oil cooler you can use Derale kit # D15405 which will lower your oil temperature up to 50-degrees.
I also linked two articles on coolers that may interest you.
