Specs:
Inlets: 11/32" hose barb
Overall dimensions: 11" wide x 7-1/4" tall x 7/8" deep
Distance between inlets: 10-1/4"
Mounting dimensions: 6-1/8" tall by either 5-1/4" or 6-3/4" wide

Note: The Derale Insta-dapt radiator adapter fits most vehicles with 5/16" transmission lines, but not all. In some cases, additional fittings or alteration of the OEM lines or hoses may be required for installation.
One of the more popular cooling systems available, the radiator-style, plate-and-fin heat exchanger provides increased surface area so that fluids can spread out along the finned chambers to cool faster. In addition to the increased surface area, this cooler also features turbulator technology, whereby fluids are agitated continuously, not only to facilitate heat transfer, but also to prevent any undesirable drop in pressure.

Most passenger cars do not have factory installed transmission coolers, including the Vision in all likelihood. On that car you will find a radiator for cooling the engine block and an A/C compressor condensor. If the Vision did have one, it would be integrated into the radiator at one of th corners.

Buy the extension hose Derale 13003, you'll need it on a 2016 Odyssey (Napa can't help you, this is an odd size hose, force 5/16" or 3/8" on at your transmission's peril $$$$! Decent cooler, simple.860493
Cooler came just in time. I installed it in my 2010 Subaru Forester so that I can safely pull my trailer without boiling my transmission. Glad to say I needed no special fittings to get the job done. The cooler looks well made and the size is just right...anything bigger would be a tough fit.36817
Great product. Super easy to install on my 2009 V6 4Runner. Keeps my transmission nice and cool. I did buy a little bit of extra hosing to mount it further on the other side of the car. But otherwise a complete kit for mounting it.254361
The installation was straightforward, and the temperature difference after the cooler was significant. This cooler will place additional years to the life of the transmission with 230,00 miles.1574631

As far as I know, it's working well. I did the install so I could tow with my 2011 Honda Odyssey. I paired it with an etrailer power steering cooler. Install was fairly smooth. I had more issues with broken fairing fasteners than I did with this cooler. I used a bluetooth ODB reader to keep tabs on transmission temps while towing a small 4x6 enclosed trailer approx 400mi one-way. Empty weight was around 300lbs, we may have filled it to 1K lbs. Temps were in the mid-upper 80*f range, all highway driving along mostly flat roads. I did a lot of googling to try and find aceptable temps, good luck. Later on I used a small utility trailer to move an entire 3K Sq ft home. Distance was approx 1/4 mile (close by). Transmission temps remained good after many round trips. Fluid color remained acceptable.1105138

Since last review I rented a uhaul 4x6 enclosed trailer a few more times to help someone move. Still no tranny or steering issues. Transmission fluid still remains an acceptable level of pinkred. Additional upgrade has been a pair of Timbren rear suspension enhancement in prep for my next trailer adventure. The factory bump stops were damaged. The Timbrens are supposed to handle the constant contact as the rear end sags under load. Ill provide an update on those after the trip.

2006 Toyota Tacoma
Excellent transmission cooler with fairly easy installation. I chose to mount mine to brackets in front of the radiator rather than by pushing mounting rods through the radiator condenser. Plans for my 4-cyl Tacoma were initially for pulling a utility trailer out to my land and back. Wife wanted to get an RV and take trips. All of my purchases and installations from etrailer were based on the expert advice from the sales people. And, I actually purchased and installed all the parts before we bought an RV. This shows you that the installation videos are spot on. I could never hook up a trailer and 'try it out'. But everything worked perfectly. I kept all the weights under limit, used a weight distribution hitch, brake controller, Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, and side mirrors, along with the class III hitch, and 4 pin and 7 pin wiring harness that I installed.
My Tacoma is only rated for towing 3500# but we never had a problem pulling a 3000# load. 65 was tops on the speed and that was on a straight road.
My scan gauge indicated that my transmission temp stayed at 165 except for when we traveled through stop and go city traffic. Then it rose to 185/190 for short times. Back on the road and it dropped to 165/170 a gain.
I was really impressed with this little cooler.524627

This was fairly easy to install. As far as I can tell it's working great. I am trusting that it will help extend the life of our transmission and keep things cool when we travel to the Rockies later this year.1573628

Toyota FJ Cruiser
I installed this trans cooler in a Toyota FJ cruiser that I use for occasional towing of trailers/loads up to about 4500 lb. The cooler, of course, is hidden away in the engine compartment so I don't really see it. It does the job I expected, keeping the trans fluid within range with no drama. I am quite satisfied with it and recommend it.904547

Still working, no issues at all. I use the FJ to tow an overlanding trailer and occasionally a flatbed with a tractor on it. No increase in transmission temp for either situation. So the cooler works. Its just there. No drama, no issues.

I had this installed in my 2008 Nissan Titan to prevent transmission overheating. My Titan has the big tow package, max tow is 9,400 lbs and comes with a factory transmission cooler but it just wasn't enough to keep the gauge out of the hot zone when towing heavy. After installing this I pulled my 5000lb 27ft camper in 104 degree heat up hills and with a head wind, the gauge never left the normal temp range area. I would buy again. I do recommend this transmission cooler for additional protection against heat.1085296

2008 Honda Odyssey
So far so good. Just installed the cooler a couple days ago getting ready for a move trailing a full load for 1000mi.
Install guide and descriptions are very generic and therefore require a bit forethought and pre-work.
Will see how the product will hold up in the long run.
Shipping and transactions with etrailer have been excellent once again.81679

2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
The cooler is a great add-on to help guarantee the life of my transmission in my 2007 Chevy Trailblazer.
The size was perfect for mounting just behind my grill and well in front of the stock radiator with barely any modification/trimming of the surrounding plastic. I have no real world temperatures but I am happy knowing the the temps in my transmission are at least a little bit cooler.
The only mist-step is the included mounting pieces. While handy to get things in place after forgetting to pick-up bolts, washers and nuts, the plastic ties really didn't hold up well for the 2 weeks until I removed them. They also don't play well with the bendable mounting kit unless you have something to eat up the space when the ties are tightened as far as they can go. Again, it's minor and had I remembered to purchase the hardware I eventually used prior to the actual install, I probably wouldn't even be writing this.
Also, the hose is certainly not long enough for my application.141336

I have is d Etrailer 8 or 9 times. Everything I've ever bought from Etrailer has been great. The installation videos alone are great, but the the thought that goes into the gagets they ship with the hitches to get the job done at home is amazing. There customer service is great also. I didn't need one of the parts I purchased so I returned it with no issues or hassle. Thank you!!! It's rare to find a company with values like yours.

The hitch assembly that I purchased from etrailer.com for my Honda Odyssey and the transmission cooler are working fine and I have pulled my 1972 Shasta camper several times without fail. I'm very pleased with the product quality and the easy to follow instructions included.673093
by: Mike04/15/2022
The install from what I remember a year ago went better then I originally expected as far as not having to tie it to the radiator. Simply haven't had any problems with it. just glad it's there and allows me to bypass the overheating from the radiator. I've also had to have my trans rebuilt sense installing the cooler but that was going to happen anyways, but knowing the cooler is there makes me not worry about any life being taken away from the trans rebuilt. Now I'm looking for a necessary engine cooler but couldn't remember where I got the trans cooler from.. Now I do!1286249

Had an automatic transmission that would overheat pulling a trailer up a steep grade on rough dirt roads. Put a deeper aluminum oil pan on it but still had the problem. This cooler has cured that problem. Wasn't too bad to install. It didn't come with enough hose for my application though so I deducted a star884326

2009 Honda Odyssey
Previously installed cooler from Etrailer in a 09 Odyssey. Hauled trailer all through WA, OR, ID, WY, UT, NM and CO (crazy high passes) with no problems.
New cooler is for '13 Jeep GC. The cooler came with clear instructions and all necessary fittings. I will mount it on aluminum brackets to bumper behind grill rather than plastic rivets to rad.
Thank you.352688

2006 Toyota Sienna
I installed this cooler on our 2006 Sienna to extend its life while towing our R-Pod 172 trailer. It appears to be doing its job, and after a year everything is still in it's place. Installation required a tiny bit of tinkering to route the hoses and zip ties, but it all went about as expected. The job was done in an afternoon (I am handy enough, but definitely not a car mechanic). I did wrap and tape some sheet metal around parts of the hoses to protect them from getting cut where they would otherwise be pushed against sharp edges. See photos.1204829

We use this to help us tow a 3,000lb camper with a 4 cylinder Tacoma. It works well. We didn't like the plastic mounting hardware to piggyback it onto your existing radiator so we used thick zip ties to mount it to the radiator frame.1328093

Toyota Sienna
Great quality easy installation. Make sure you know which hose goes from and goes to your radiator for proper installation, your dealer DOESNT KNOW and wont be of any assistance lol this will ONLY work on Sienna XLE or Limited with tow prep package. The upgraded radiator has the trans cooler lines.272091
Purchased a Tranny cooler from Etrailer a year ago and it has worked out great. Parts shipped out quick. Everything was of the highest quality. Very easy to install with the bracket kit. I will be sure to use Etrailer again. 377636

Chevrolet Traverse
This was recommended by etrailer for my Traverse. It was fairly easy to install, (mostly with help from YouTube videos). I took my time and it took about 3 hours. If I did it again it could probably be done in an hour or less. It's been a year of towing an 18' ski boat and it has totally done the job. That adapter that is recommended with this is vital as far as I can tell.430529

Great transmission cooler for my 1998 Honda Accord, it made it & better and reduce the transmission slipping after a long drive on the freeway. Easy installation and a great value. Would buy again.790470
For you 1995 Subaru Impreza, I recommend the Curt # C11497. The Curt model features a fully welded, gloss powder coated steel construction and a concealed cross tube.
You will need a ball mount. You'll also need a trailer wiring harness, part # C59236 is recommended. Finally, you'll need a trailer ball like # 19256.
Although the hitch has a 2000 towing/200 lb tongue weight capacity, you might be limited by the towing capacity of the vehicle, if it is less. You'll need to abide by the... view full answer...
As a first step, I'd recommend definitively finding out the tow capacity of your Town and Country. The 1800 lb capacity sounds about right. The owners manual states that vehicles equipped with the 'trailer tow package' can handle up to 3800 lbs (with only two people in the vehicle). The trailer tow package almost certainly includes a transmission cooler, but there might very well be other upgrades like different gearing or suspension modifications that provide the increased towing capacity.... view full answer...
Honda states in the owner's manual for your Odyssey that the vehicle should be equipped with a power steering and a transmission cooler before using it for towing. Whether you choose to follow that advice is entirely up to you, but opting for the coolers is some very inexpensive insurance that will protect the transmission and steering systems on your Odyssey.

The Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit part # D13502 is an excellent option for a 2021 Toyota 4Runner and it will do a great job of providing additional cooling while towing or hauling heavy loads. It can then be combined with the Derale Temperature Gauge Kit for Transmission or Engine Oil part # D13009 to provide real time temperatures levels.
Please note, you will need to add a bit of extra fluid to your transmission to account for the cooler and extra lines. view full answer...
The best way to determine with certainty how your Veracruz was equipped from the factory would be to contact your Hyundai dealer. If you provide them with your VIN, they should be able to provide you with the information you need.
My research indicates that the towing capacity of the Veracruz is 3500 lbs "When Properly Equipped". For some vehicles this means simply adding a hitch and a trailer wiring harness. Other vehicles might require a transmission cooler, oil coolers, power steering... view full answer...
What you're wanting to do is theoretically possible, many folks with the Nissan Pathfinders that had the same radiator/transmission cooler problem were looking to do the same thing.
Derale Transmission Coolers, like the # D13502 you mentioned is meant as a supplementary cooler to augment, but not replace the factory unit. As we advised the Nissan owners, we would rather see you fix the problem correctly by using an aftermarket replacement radiator/transmission cooler, which are pretty... view full answer...
Unless you live in a very cold climate, you'll want to go with the largest transmission cooler that will fit in the space available. The most efficient place to install a cooler is directly behind the grille, in front of the radiator. If you have sufficient room in that area to accommodate the 11 x 12 inch size of the # D13504, that's what I'd recommend. If you needed a smaller cooler, go with the # D13502 which measures 11W x 7-1/4T. Using the # D13035 radiator fitting will make for a... view full answer...
The best way to pick out a replacement transmission cooler for your 2003 Toyota Highlander would be to measure the available area in front of your radiator and pick the largest one that will fit.
A very popular one that should fit is the part # D13503, this one measures 11" Wide x 8-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep. I attached an install video and a review video for you to check out as well.

Transmission coolers are often not totally required, but they do help prolong the life of the transmission. It's your call, but it's a cheap investment to help prolong the life the transmission. For a transmission cooler I would recommend the Derale Transmission Cooler part # D13502.
For a hitch I would recommend the Draw-Tite Class III receiver, part # 75579.
You will also need a trailer wiring harness, part # C56331 to provide a 4-pole trailer connector. If the camper uses a 7-way connector... view full answer...
When comparing the Flex-a-lite Transmission Cooler # FLX400117 to the similar Derale Series 8000 Transmission Cooler # D13502, there are very few differences between them. Both have an aluminum construction, include all hardware needed, and are Plate-Fin style coolers. This is where the main difference is though. The Derale # D13502 will have 14 rows and the Flex-A-Lite # FLX400117 will have 17 rows.
The only other main difference between them is that Derale uses a thermal paint coating... view full answer...
Adding a transmission cooler to your 2018 Toyota RAV4 is a really smart idea, and one of the best things you can do for your RAV4 for towing.. The reason for that is towing is a stressor, and the additional cooling provided by a secondary cooler keeps fluid temperatures down, which allows the best performance and in turn prolongs the lifespan of your transmission.

You can install the transmission cooler like part # D13502 with the ports pointed upward if you want. Since the system is pressurized it will have no problem with the flow of the fluid through the cooler mounted as you said. view full answer...
I do have the parts you will need to tow a trailer with your 2016 Ford Escape Titanium but these cannot be added after the fact to then give you the towing capacity of the version equipped with the factory trailer towing package because the towing capacity for the vehicle will remain unchanged throughout its life in the eyes of the manufacturer. That said, the factory towing package usually consists of a trailer hitch, trailer wiring harness, and transmission cooler. I have attached these... view full answer...
You're getting pretty close to the towing capacity of that vehicle, so yes I would without doubt recommend a transmission cooler. A transmission cooler is some super-inexpensive insurance that will do a great job of protecting your transmission.

As long as you don't exceed the maximum tongue weight capacity of the hitch or the vehicle, whichever is lower you should be fine, but I'd consider adding a transmission cooler. You'll also want to do everything you can do to keep that trailer weight down if possible.

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... view full answer...
We have three plate-fin Derale transmission coolers confirmed to fit your 2000 Ford F-350 with the 7.3 L diesel. The best one for you is going to be the largest that you can fit in the front of your engine compartment so it gets as much air flow as possible.
All three for your truck are 11 inches wide a 7/8 inches deep. The difference is the height::
# D13502 is 7-1/4 inches tall

I've looked at the owner's manual, which confirms the 3500 lb towing capacity for your Murano. Can your vehicle tow that boat? Yes it can, but because you're getting close to maxing out the towing capacity of the vehicle, you'll want to proceed with some caution..

The first thing you need to consider is the size of the transmission cooler. The larger the cooler, the better.
Next you need to make sure you have sufficient room for the cooler. The best location for your cooler is between the radiator and the grille. You will need to measure that area and then find the cooler that will fit.

We typically recommend going with the biggest cooler you can fit in front of the radiator of the vehicle. Commonly we recommend the # D13502 and # D13503 as they are decently sized and very efficient.

When you install a supplemental transmission cooler in a vehicle you want it to be downstream of the factory cooler in the radiator. When we installed a cooler in similar Uplander as yours we found that the return line (the one to use for installation), was the one nearest the radiator cap.
