Default 3rd Radiator Purpose?

I was wondering if someone knew what the little radiator was for? Is it a transmission cooler or are all 3 radiators for the EcoBoost? I have a 2014 4x4 EcoBoost. Thank you

The largest one in the back is your normal rad for your engine.
The middle one sitting down low is your intercooler for your turbos on the EB.
The smallest one mounted in front of your engine rad is your transmission cooler.

Bottom Charge air cooler. Middle is you Aux trans cooler. Passenger side is AC condenser. Big one is radiator. You only have 1 radiator.

Your tranny will always want to be around 190-200 anyhow it has an internal thermostat. But when it opens the aux cooler allows faster cooling.
