    Should be located right behind your grill that's if you have the tow package.

    Take a pick of behind your grill with the hood open. I know from 19-21 Toyota removed the coolers for some odd reason but 18 should have it if you have the tow package.

    As what blaserdude said, it is in the condenser.
    Look for lines right behind the radiator on the passenger side.

    You could always check to see if you have coolant lines running from the right side of the transmission to the front of the vehicle. Rather than looking for the radiator.

    Well mine doesn't look like that. So I guess mine doesn't have the cooler….? Even tho the specs under my vin say I have the tow package.

    So in this pic ignore the silver thing, that's an aftermarket heat exchanger I'm adding for the power steering to replace the oem cooler. The black hoses coming out circled are for the tranny cooler. If you don't have that, sounds like you are sans Trans cooler
