    Does anyone know if the '07 Dodge Nitro comes standard with a
    transmission cooler, or do you have to get the towing package? Both
    Edmunds and Yahoo Auto list the cooler under "Standard Equipment".
    According to the manual, having this gets you an extra 1500lbs of
    towing capacity (from 2000 to 3500lbs).

    If not, will I be ok towing my 2500lb popup camper if I enable "tow/
    haul" mode 3 or 4 times per year for 100 to 200 miles at a time?

    Thanks,
    Dan

  2. Just go to a wrecking yard and find a transmission cooler and plumb
    it in. Unless your living in a place that has winter temps under 30
    degrees,
    you will be adding years of life to your transmission by adding another
    cooler, whether or not you tow with it.
