Can anyone please give me a little help on specifying the correct equipment I need to get to increase the towing capacity of my 1997 4X2 Expedition?
It has a 4.6L with a 4r70 trans. I added a class III reciever hitch for the light towing I do every so often. Now that I have purchased an enclosed trailer (2660 lbs. curb weight), I want to use my Expedition to tow it as well.

I have installed an electric brake module, but I need a recommended trans cooler and/or any other components to help prevent any damage to the engine or trans.

Thank you,
Vtwin87

best thing to do is like u said, get a transmission cooler, that makes big differences

Yep tranny cooler will help. Also before towing make sure all services have been done to make sure all trans fluids and engine oils are pretty fresh. Also dont drive in top gear with heavy loads and everything should be fine.
