Not sure if you have a transmission cooler besides the hose routed thru the vehicle radiator. If not adding it will likely save the tranny when pulling the TT. As a note I have had a 02 TB with the I6 engine 4x4 ext. The engine as power that is for sure. I dumped the "P" tires for LT tires and found a difference in vehicle handling on the first turn in the road. For the better. Those vehicles have a real soft suspension. Not much more than a older station wagon. I tow my boat about 4,000 lbs to the local ramps but, without having a tranny temp gauge or 2nd cooler added I will not take it on long trips. I have the F350 for that. In days past I burned up 2 transmissions pulling RVs without having a 2nd cooler, I learned the hard way.
