[VAL] Tundra



JoAnn,
I also have a Tundra and tow a 22' Safari. The First place to begin
searching for a transmission cooler is in front of your radiator on your
truck. My truck already has one. I believe that is a standard item with
the V8.
I have not checked the gas mileage difference while towing for the same
reason I have not added all the receipts for all of the items during the
restoration..I do not think I want to know. As for the truck and it's
towing capabilities it is excellent. I do use overdrive on flat highways
as it feels like the truck and tranmission are not working very hard. On
hilly and mountain areas I switch it off. I am still towing without load
leveler bars or sway bar. Sometimes I think it feels heavy and other
times it does not even seem like I am towing anything. Flat is better. I
will try a hitch load leveler soon to see if it makes a difference.
