2005 CRV 5 speed auto.
I have a small utility trailer, rated for 2000 lbs, but I'll never be
pulling that much weight.
I'm travelling approx 400 km / 250 mi round trip. Several times this summer.

Should I install a transmission cooler?
Is a transmission cooler necessary?

If so, what size is a good one.
Etrailer has a list of coolers, I was thinking the model 41019 would do the
trick if needed.

All comments appreciated, you can even make fun of me for asking if you
like.

Sometimes weight doesn't matter as much as wind resistance and the
terrain you'll be traveling. At 80 MPH, if you're carrying porta-potties
that stand 8' tall but weigh almost nothing, you'll load the tranny more
than if you carry 40 heavy patio blocks that lay flat in the trailer.

There's LOTS of threads to search at www.hondasuv.com including pictures
and parts sources.
