    Hey everybody I have a 2005 prerunner sr5 v6 that DID NOT come with a tow package. I installed a hitch years ago but seldomly tow. I wanted to install a transmission cooler so that I can extend the longevity of the tranny. I have 170k on it and I've put 120k of that! No issues,h done 2 tranny services on it while I've owned it. Anyone have a write up or suggest any after market coolers?
    Thanks!

    Why did you wait 120000 miles before deciding to install a tranny cooler? Damn get one on there this weekend. Whether you tow or not it’s better to have a cooler than not.

    I did not add a cooler. I ended up buying one and it's been sitting in my shop Lol. I completely forgot I bought one or even made this post till I searched old posts by me on my profile. How time flies and projects sit on shelves o_O
