Territory towing capability

The Territory TX does have a transmission oil cooler, which is suitable for normal driving, but when towing it's best to fit an external cooler that will cope with the extra heat generated under the load of a caravan or trailer on the back. The Ford kit you mention will do the job and Ford dealers should be able to fit it for you, if not any competent auto transmission mechanic will be able to supply and fit the sort of cooler you need. The cost will be about $500 fitted. It woul d also be a good idea to beef up the rear suspension of the Territory if you plan to tow and you say you do. Depending on the weight you would be towing you might want to think of fitting uprated rear springs, uprated gas shocks and even load- assist airbags. All can be supplied by Pedders at a cost of around $1400. At the same time they could inspect the diff bushes, rear arm mounts and shock bushes, all known trouble spots on the Territory.
