With transmission coolers there are different styles. The Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets, part # D13503, you referenced is a plate and fin cooler and actually performs differently than a tube and fin style cooler. I have attached a FAQ article that explains the difference in transmission coolers and how they work. I have also linked you to a product review video for this cooler.
A plate and fin cooler is more efficient because it causes the fluid to come in contact with the aluminum fins at a greater volume as it passes through the plates. The tube and fin cooler has the fluid pass through the cooler in a tube which comes in contact with the fins to dissipate the heat. The tube and fin coolers are the least efficient of the transmission coolers.
Since transmission coolers are not vehicle specific, you need to consider the clearance of the location you wish to install the cooler. The article I attached explains what to consider when choosing a cooler for your vehicle.
