Transmission Cooler for Kia Sedona Towing 2500 lb Pop-Up Camper

Question

Question:

Would D13501 be a good fit for a Kia Sedona V6 towing a 2500 # popup camper? I have watched several of the videos and it should work but I would like to be sure. Nothing Kia specific in the videos but enough to be helpful.

A transmission cooler is not a vehicle specific item. Since the best spot to install a cooler is directly behind the grille, in front of the radiator and A/C compressor, we recommend choosing the largest cooler that will fit in that area. The cooler measures 11 inches long by 5-3/4 inches tall by 7/8 inches tall, if you have the appropriate amount of space right behind your grille, this cooler would be an excellent choice. Be sure that the weight of the fully loaded camper does not exceed the towing capacity of the vehicle. The cooler includes an instadapt fitting that is comptible with most vehicles that use 5/16 inch radiator fittings.
