Recommended Transmission Cooler for a Toyota FJ Cruiser

Question

Question:

Im looking to get a transmission cooler for my FJ as I am getting a camping trailer. When I put my info in our website it came back with a dozen or so coolers that matched my vehicle. This was the first one on the list. Does that mean it is most compatible? Your suggestion of best fit is appreciated.

Transmission coolers are universal in fit so the largest one you have space available for is best. I recommend the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit part # D13613 as an excellent extra efficient option which only requires 11" wide x 8-7/8" tall x 1-1/4" deep of space. It comes with everything needed for installation.
