Just for my peace of mind... Is there a transmission cooler on my 08 4x4 xls???
I don't tow a lot but i sometime tow 8' trailers and my tent trailer that weights 1850 lbs. i know the towing capacity is 3500 lbs but i did'nt even check if there was a factory installed transmission cooler.

 

If you have the tow package on the V6, you have a transmission cooler built into the radiator. All Canadian V6s have the tow package, not sure about the US ones. Check for a couple of small hoses going into the radiator and then down under the engine. That's transmission fluid for cooling. If you have a 3500lb tow rating, you have the cooler. Other than some sag on the rear end, you'll have no troubles with that trailer.

 

I have a US model 08 ES with the 4 cylinder engine. It has a transmission cooler (black in color) that you can see by looking into the lower part of the grill.

 

Will look tonight, have to move the tent trailer. It is a XLS V6 4wd Canadian model but the hitch is aftermarket, installed by a hitch and trailer cie instead of mitsubishi.

 

you've got the cooler.

 

all have 2 coolers.

DONT modify it. at ALL.

 

Would someone verify that if you have a v6 4wd that it came standard, US or Can...

 

all outlanders have 2 coolers.


as i said, DONT alter it.
