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 x 7/8" deep Series 8000 is going to give you great cooling efficiency. You do need to ensure that you have enough room for this cooler to fit; if you take a look at the cut out of the linked installation manual you can see that there are a number of mounting locations possible.

The installation is not difficult as you just need to mount it and connect the cooler lines, as evidenced by the install instructions (linked below) of the Derale Series 8000 Transmission Cooler # D13502.
