Transmission Cooler Compatible With a 2023 Toyota Tacoma

Question:

I am looking for a plate and fin style cooler for the auto transmission on my 2023 Toyota Tacoma with 3.5L V6. I see kits for 4 cylinder models but nothing for V6 models. I would prefer mechanical line connections over hose clamps. Is there a kit for this that includes everything to install. Also is there an engine oil cooler kit similar available. I am looking for as much cooling as I can get. Thank you

I do see Toyota does offer a small transmission cooler like the Derale # D13611 from the factory on your 2023 Toyota Tacoma. It appears this is added if you have the factory towing package and automatic transmission. Their cooler is connected using hose clamps so it does not appear there is a way to attach a cooler using mechanical connections unless you switch the lines to some with AN fittings. Personally I recommend the larger Cooler # D13503 to help keep temperatures lower. These coolers are all universal so they will be able to work on your 3.5L V6 as well.

We currently do not offer an engine oil cooler as our coolers connect through an adapter mounted in line of a screw on oil filter. Your Tacoma has a cartridge style filter but it does appear your engine does have an oil to water cooler to cool the engine oil through the engine coolant.
