Transmission Cooler for a 2011 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner 2.7 Liter

Question:

Hi I am interested in this transmission cooler for my 2011 Toyota Tacome 4 door prerunner with 2.7 L, 4 cyl engine. I am towing an 18 foot, 2700 lb. RV with the truck. Is this the best cooler available for this truck. I am not clear where the cooler hoses connect on the truck. Is there a video available for this installation. If not can you provide diagrams?

Transmission coolers are not vehicle specific so we usually recommend using the largest one that will fit in the available space on any given vehicle. Given that your 2011 Toyota Tacoma has the 4 cylinder motor there should be plenty of space for cooler # D13503 which will be more than enough for your truck.

The path of the fluid will go from the transmission to the factory cooler (inside the radiator on most vehicles) then out from there and into the new supplemental cooler, and then return to the transmission. I have included a diagram and a link to the instructions for you.
