Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2007 Ford F150
Question:
What would be the largest and most efficient trasmission cooler I could install on a 07 f150 5.4? Thanks for the help!

The answer to your question is going to depend on how much free real estate you have on the front of the radiator right behind the truck's grille, which is the place where you'll want to install it. Unless you live where it gets and stays below 0°F for most of the winter, you really can't overcool a transmission, so you could go as big as the available space allows (more on that later).
If you have 11 x 12 inches of space available, I'd recommend the # D13504 . You'll also need some transmission fittings, but the ones you need are dependent upon the diameter of the threaded portion of the existing fittings. If they're 1/2 inch, use # D13024 or # D13025 if they're 5/8 of an inch.
The Derale # D54010 cooler you'd looked at is an awesome cooler, but honestly, unless you regularly flog your truck by towing twice its towing capacity, the smaller coolers I recommended would work perfectly fine within the capabilities of your truck.
I've linked to some helpful articles about transmission coolers.
