Seeking Advice: Towing and the Optional Transmission Cooler

9331 Views 7 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  Wrascal
I just purchased a 2020 Passport Touring AWD, and I'm searching to learn if anybody has experience towing through mountain passes with the Passport.

My family has a tent trailer (GVWR @ 2,151 lbs fully loaded) we frequently take to Glacier National Park, or Yosemite National Park...basically places around the Western United States with long, meandering mountain roads. We'll never get close to towing 5,000 lbs at this point.

Is a transmission cooler really needed for what I'm towing, or is it simply providing peace of mind that the transmission won't overheat in certain situations?

If you are towing 3500 pounds or under, you'll be fine without the tranny cooler.
If towing over 3500 pounds, get a cooler.
