The Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, item # D13503, will provide extra cooling to help keep your transmission at normal temperatures when towing.
Whether or not any cooler will provide enough cooling depends on many factors specifically related to your vehicle and trailer setup. I did a bit of checking on the 2006 Nissan Titan towing capacities and found that the 2006 Titan is rated for somewhere between 9,200 lbs and 9,500 lbs Gross trailer weight, properly loaded and ready to travel, if it is equipped with the towing package from the manufacturing facility. If your vehicle is equipped with a dealer installed towing package or an aftermarket package the gross towing capacity drops to between 6,500 lbs and 7,400 lbs.
All this means that if the gross weight of your trailer, properly loaded and ready to travel is within the rating of your specific vehicle the trailer suspension is in good shape, and the vehicle suspension transmission and engine components are in good shape, the transmission cooler will help keep the transmission in the normal operating range. If any of these components is not within specification for your vehicle or operating properly, the transmission cooler may not be the solution to your problem.
I have provided drawing showing where the transmission cooler will perform the best and how it is typically installed for you to review.
