I've used the Ford Truck VIN decoder. I have a class IV towing package. Doesn't say if that includes a transmission cooler. Some have said that it does include the transmission cooler but those are small. Some have upgraded to a bigger cooler. I'm thinking along those lines. Our Ex is a 2000 Limited. I love her!
It does not have to be huge. But it will be external. Most vehicle cool the transmission thru the radiator. so the line from the trany will run to the radiator. On the other side of the Radiator will be another {return} line. IF it runs straight back to the trany, It does not have a external cooler. If it runs to a cooler , and then back to the trany, Good to go. The trany cooler should always be after the radiator, so that the fluid can be cooled lower then the radiator.
A good tow package will also include a power steering cooler as well. It will be on the opposite side of the vehicle.
