vroom_vroom, what kind of trans cooler did you use to upgrade the stock cooler?

Martian · 02-02-2021, 07:39 AM

Towing with a 2018 Ram 1500 crew cab, trailer is 2020 Cougar 22RBS. CVWR is 12,900 and the setup weighs in at 11,800. About as close to max as I feel comfortable towing but I do not have any issues going or stopping. The Reese ( vintage 2004 ) trunnion wdh with hd dual cam anti-sway and 800 pound bars is dialed in better than on the previous two trailers and keeps the two going down the road as if they were one. As a note, I did the complete setup on the hitch as opposed to having the dealer do it. Last two trailers looked like swiss cheese where the brackets bolted onto the tongue as it seems they were just drilling holes and then checking to see if they were right.

Tru cool 40k. It’s a lot of overkill. I had to add the thermostat due to it always wanting to run cold until it brakes 100 out here. Used all hard line and the oem push connections turned out very clean. I’d do it again in a heart beat, just with the stat.

I tow a 2016 Aerolite 282DBHS with my 14 Silverado 5.3 liter, totally stock. It does fine...took some dialing in of the equalizer chains to make it the most comfortable. I would not want any more camper than this with my truck.

Towed my 33' wildwood with my 2019 F150 5.0 and never knew it was there unless there was a nice crosswind. Hills and back roads were not an issue. Trailer was about 7000 lbs at most and towed fine. Truck payload is 1860, tongue weight about 1260.

I tow our freedom express 246rks with my '19 ram 1500 laramie ccsb 5.7 hemi 3.92 rear end. it's just under 6000# when towing and the truck does fine but I am near limits of cargo cap so I pack light. can set cruise for 68-69 and get 8.5-10 depending on the terrain.
