    Hi can anyone tell me in this photo that I Circle in red what this cooler is it for. I'm curious to know what it's for since some tundras comes with and without. Currently my 2010 sr5 5.7L tundra does not have one.

    Ok thanks. So I'm guessing Toyota install these Transmission cooler with 3 or so different type of styles at different locations. I'm looking at mine and it's currently under the bumper an it's a long rectangle.

    That’s your power steering cooler.

    They changed the transmission cooler mid 10 from the style in your picture to integrated in the top part of the ac condenser. Look for 2 hoses on the top passenger side of your ac condenser.

    sorry bud I screenshot the photo off YouTube and edit to ask hear, however from the look of it I do not have one. But I thinking it's not too much of a big deal since I don't tow anything. It'll be nice to have one since it can actually cool off the tranny and I'll see if I can find or come across an factory cooler to install at the current location so I don't have to deal with aftermarket parts. On my dash gauges I have the tranny and oil on both side under the rpm and under fuel or battery gauged if correct. "Both working" When I bought my tundra... it was said and told that it has the tow package but no tranny cooler on the front as stated.

    No, I meant the rectangular one behind your bumper is a power steering cooler.

    The one in the picture is a transmission cooler in the style from 07-mid 10.

    Mid 10 it changed to be integrated in the ac condenser. If you have the tow package, it should be integrated in the ac condenser. Look at yours on the passenger side at the top for 2 black hoses.

    I had a 10 sr5 with tow package. It had the new style integrated into the condenser.

    This is what the ps cooler looks like.

    Can’t find a pic right now of the trans, but you can follow the lines from the passenger side of the trans to the cooler if you have one.

    Edit: here’s a link to the ac condenser / trans cooler.
