Expert Reply:
A transmission cooler is a great addition to basically any vehicle but is especially beneficial to vehicles that will be towing like your 2009 Ford Escape. For how much transmissions cost to repair/replace a cooler like the part # D13503 is a great insurance policy that allows you to get much more life from it. It's not a total necessity, but it really is a great idea.
