Question:

Hello, I have a 2012 Toyota Sienna, with the factory tow package, but it does not have an auxillary transmission cooler besides the factory in radiator I am towing a heavy trailer, and while I have already purchased a brake controller, and weight distribution, I am consistently seeing transmission temperatures over 220 degrees. As such, I have decided that an auxillary cooler would be prudent. I have narrowed my choices down to the Derale 13503 and the 13504. I have measured my available space at about 12 in wide and about 16 in tall, so the 13504 with its a lower price and extra cooling capacity would seem to be the logical choice, but I see that the 13504 is labeled to not fit my van, while the 13503 is. I see that the 13504 is taller, but with my roughly 16 in of space, I would assume that either would fit? Do you know why the 13504 is listed as not to fit?

Expert Reply:

Technically any transmission cooler will fit any vehicle that has enough room for it. The reason why we have the Derale # D13503 listed as a fit and not the Derale # D13504 is simply because we haven't been able to test fit one in a 2012 Toyota Sienna as of yet (August 2018). It very well could fit (as you have found) but we don't want to list everything as a confirmed fit if we haven't tested it yet.

If you have enough room then you can definitely install the Derale # D13504.
