I understand Toyota has removed the thermostatically controlled auxiliary transmission oil cooler from 2019-2021 Tundras Tow Package as they deemed them "unnecessary". However, my window sticker from my 2020 Tundra clearly states "Tow Package: Tow Rcvr Hitch, 4.30 Axle, Eng/TransFluid Coolers, TOW/HAUL Mode, HD Batt & Alt, & Integ 4/7-Pin Connector". What recourse do I have with Toyota to get this feature installed (vehicle is still within the factory warranty period)?
well they will just say they made a mistake probably but tell them Scotty says they should put one in if it says you paid for one
Scotty - - Now Toyota has acknowledged they stop equipping the Tundra with an aux tranny cooler, but say the bottom portion of the radiator provides transmission cooling. How can that be possible since no transmission fluid lines are connected to the radiator? Magic?
Good question. You should ask Toyota.
Hi scotty - I came across some new info regarding the Toyota Tundra Trans cooler.....I know it's been discussed sooo many times but i think this new info is very important!
Toyota stated on a few videos that the transmission fluid operates within acceptable range of 240 and higher per industry standards, and the trans cooler was no longer necessary for that reason.
However, I noticed recently at a local Toyota dealership that the 2020 & 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser still has the aux/trans coolers on them.....so my questions are the following:
1. if the trans fluid is acceptable to run this hot on the tundra, then why is it not allowed to do so on the landcruiser?
2. If a dedicated truck designed for towing no longer needs the trans cooler then why does a luxury suv?
3. What is the transmission temp that the land cruiser is operating at & what temp is it trying to stay below with the help of the Trans Cooler?
I'd love to have you do a video to bring up this new information, Thanks for everything you do sir, love your videos keep it up.
