Finally all parts arrived for dealer to install my hitch and transmission cooler. It was negotiated in as part of the vehicle purchase. Glad I worked it in the deal and did not have to pay the parts and labor. Very pricey.

I got a pretty good deal on mine when I bought my 2020 Passport. Paid about $700 for both with installation. I tow a travel trailer loaded just under 4000 lbs about a half dozen times a year and have no problems. I also put in Scangauge 2 to monitor my water temp and transmission temp.

How long did it take them to install. I heard it takes like 3 hours? My dealer had mine all day Saturday and called, said they need it most of Monday morning
Oh, and this is only the wire harness, they installed the hitch and transcooler when weeks ago

It just plugs into the OBDII port.

My install ran over and vehicle returned on 2nd day. Trans cooler is what i was told took the time.

Why are people buying transmission coolers when the Passport can tow up to 5000 pounds? Are people towing more than that?

I believe that is the recommendation if you enter into that realm. I'd install a v-8. 🙂

because it is required to tow up to the 5000lb limit. towing capacity without cooler is 3500lbs

I did for piece of mine. At most I tow 4200 2 times a year, all others are 1200 for trailer and dry way, lumber or bushes from the house. One trip a year with a zero turn to for winter maintenance.
it everything goes south Ali can always mow lawns. People around here pay 75 to 100 a yard and doesn’t take but 30minutes each
