I would recommend a transmission cooler for basically every vehicle with an automatic transmission. Since heat is the number one killer of transmissions a cooler is a cheap insurance policy to allow your transmission to last as long as possible.
The best way to pick out a cooler is to go with the largest one that will fit the available space in front of your radiator/AC condenser. The part # D13503 is a very popular choice that measures 11" Wide x 8-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep.
I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
