    Just bought a new 2019 I-4 tacoma and will be doing some light towing [1000-1500 lbs] not mountainous. Do I need a transmission cooler? I live in Minnesota/Wisconsin area.

    I agree. Good if you have it but for your situation it's not really needed.

    A cooler won’t do much good considering the thermostat closes at 195*F and doesn’t reopen until about 205*F.

    You’re better off pinning the thermostat while you tow. You’ll see much lower temps.

    I would always recommend a trans cooler if you are going to tow, also highly recommend a device to read the trans temp. Just because you have a cooler doesn't mean you cant overheat the transmission.

    Need? Maybe not.

    Good idea? Sure. Can't hurt anything but your wallet.

    Ok. Go do some research on the 3rd gen transmissions.

    Just noticed OP has a 4cyl, not sure if they use the same trans as the V6’s or not.

    I strongly believe it is the same Aisin trans.
