Introduction
This document outlines the recommendation for fitting an aftermarket transmission cooler to a Toyota Prado equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission, particularly when towing heavy loads.
Problem
Towing heavy loads, such as a camper trailer, can potentially cause the transmission to overheat. This can lead to premature wear and damage to the transmission. Although the original post references a 5-speed transmission overheating, the advice is that the 6-speed can also benefit from a cooler in heavy duty applications.
Solution
Fitting an aftermarket transmission cooler is recommended.
Relevant Parts
Refer to guides for the 5-speed transmission for photos and cooler install location ideas. The installation process is similar for both the 5-speed and 6-speed automatic transmissions.
