    I searched and couldn't find any specifics.

    2020 TRDOR doesn't come with a trans cooler or lines. To add an aftermarket cooler, are people ordering OEM hard lines to the front and soft lines to the cooler.

    Or fittings and soft lines (this would be easier); if so, does anyone have the part # for the fittings?

    I ordered the OEM cooler, bracketry and lines, bolted right up. Not sure if that's what your looking for.

    I have a 2021 4X4 OR DCSB and had a warranty issue with the factory lines to the cooler. Photos attached, but one day I noticed a drip on the driveway and took it in to the dealer. They completely replaced the hoses, fittings, and clamps. I did have a bit of a heart palpitation given my noticeable part upgrades, but the service guys told me they had seen this on other vehicles from earlier model years. Unsettling, but great to have it fixed and back on a dry driveway. Note, photos from underneath were taken from the passenger side.

    I'd personally run all the factory lines but upgrade the cooler while you're at it.

    Id be willing to bet 95% of the lines are already there as the radiator circuit is still a thing, Its literally going to be as easy as putting an aux cooler inline on the outlet of the radiator side.

    I have a 2018. The only time I've ever felt like I needed a cooler upgrade was when I was moving slow and there wasn't enough air flow.

    Get one with a fan.

    Has anyone notice with the coolers install that the transmission drives different?

    Hear hear, I recently took a trail that was slow, heat of the day wasn’t too bad, and the end result for the TC was too hot. Every other coolant system handled it well.

    Shoot, after that slow and gnarly climb, the job has been shuffled to the front!
