Well, they don't get mentioned within 'general discussion' -- but if your search for "cooler" within "towing rigs", you'll get over 130 hits.

In general, towing heavy loads on big grades without a decent Tranny cooler might be a bad idea - especially if you can't provoke the Transmission (I'm assuming Auto) to 'lock up' it's internal clutch plates by playing with the gas pedal and your choice of gear. "Tow Packages", whether standard (as on my 4Runner) or add-on, nearly always include enhanced Tranny Fluid Cooling capability.
