I have a 2016 F150 SuperCrew 3.5 EB. It looks like the truck did not come with a tow package from the dealer.

I'd like to add a trans cooler and looking for some advice.. I'm wondering if I should go with the OEM or aftermarket cooler. I plan on towing an 8000 lb. travel trailer 4-6 times a year in the winter mainly and I pull a boat pretty regularly during the summer through the desert. Outside temps probably average around 110 and can get up to 120+ at times. The boat is a small 18' hotrod so it's not super heavy.. guessing it's around 2500 lbs.

If OEM, does anybody have a list of part numbers needed to add get the job done?

If aftermarket whats a good option thats not going to kill the bank and isn't going to be overly difficult to install. I'm pretty mechanical but i'm also not looking to tear the engine truck apart

 

Yes you can add one. If you had the 10R80 you wouldnt need one as they dont even add the aux cooler in front of the radiator on max tow.

As for adding one onto a 6 speed equipped truck a simple search on this site will bring up threads.

 

Looking through the grill I do not see an AUX cooler so i'm wondering what parts I'm going to need. I found a video of a guy replacing his stock cooler with a larger cooler (DL3Z7A095B) but he's working on a SVT Raptor so i'm unsure if that cooler will work. It sounds like all the mounts should exist even if the cooler is not present? Also sounds like I need a short hose to connect it after removing the bypass/coupler. Thoughts?

 

Did your truck come with the class 4 hitch from the factory?

 

No, it did not.
