Question:

I have a 2019 ford explorer 3.5 v6 4wd without a tow package, would I need a engine oil cooler or transmission cooler or both to bring the tow to 5000 lb capacity

There is nothing that can be done to raise the towing capacity of your 2019 Ford Explorer, it is set by Ford, and no aftermarket products, including a transmission cooler like the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13503, will change that.

A secondary transmission cooler (as well as oil cooler) is a supplemental aspect of your vehicle's performance, helping ensure a longer-lasting, more efficient cooling system, so that's the benefit of the # D13503, but upping your towing capacity is not possible.
