Transmission Cooler Recommendations for 2010 Ford F150 4.6L

Question

Question:

Good afternoon, I have a 2010 F150 4.6L 3V 6 speed 4x4 without the towing package and I was wondering which transmission cooler you guys recommend. I would like as much cooling as possible, as we go through some mountains while hauling all of our camping gear. Thank you!

I'd agree with the fact that you want the best cooling performance. Traveling through the mountains, especially when towing can be hard on your transmission. This is why we routinely recommend getting the largest cooler that will fit in the space available. The most efficient place to install a transmission cooler is between the grille and the radiator or A/C condenser. The Derale # D13504 measures 11 inches wide by 12 inches tall by 7/8 inches thick, so if you have that amount of space available, it's what I'd recommend. If you need something smaller, you can see what's available by clicking the provided link. You'll also need the # D13024 fitting.

I'll also link you to some FAQ articles about transmission coolers that you might find helpful.
