Expert Reply:
Adding a supplementary transmission cooler to a vehicle that tows a trailer is a great way to reduce the thermal stress on the transmission. For your 2012 Toyota RAV4 with the V6 engine the most popular cooler is the Class III Derale # D13503, and this also happens to offer the highest cooling efficiency of all such products available for your RAV4. This is a complete kit with all needed parts.
I linked a couple of help articles on the topic of transmission coolers.
