    Does anyone know if Sequoia's with the factory tow package come with a trans cooler?

    I know the Tundra's with the same engine are equipped with a trans cooler but can find no info concerning the Sequoia.

    I'm going to assume the Sequoia does not have one factory installed. Has anyone installed a trans cooler for towing and if so what model/price/etc.?

    TIA.

    Take a look underneath. If you see the thermostat passenger side, then it would be safe to say you have a cooler.

    2018 platinum with factory tow package. What gets me is the tundra with full factory tow package comes with a trailer brake installed. Because the Sequoia doesn’t come with the trailer brake on the tow package I assumed it didn’t come with the trans cooler either.

    @Adamdsgn so did you look to see if you have a t-stat?

    I have not. Pouring down rain outside currently. So if I look under the passenger side wheel well there should be a small thermostat plug there and if I have that I have a trans cooler?

    what I attached is the picture of the thermostat for the trans cooling circuit, so if you have it you 99.9% have a cooler - the MY19+ Tundras without front mount coolers do not have the thermostat (so this is where my high certainty comes from).

    it is not behind the wheel well, at least that is not where i would describe the location. best location i can give (aside from the given - pass side of the transmission) would be under the front passenger floor board, just directly underneath.
