Will this radiator work with my manual transmission Tacoma?

This radiator is designed for automatic transmission models and includes integrated cooler lines for transmission fluid. Manual transmission Tacomas use a different core design—verify your transmission type before ordering to avoid fitment issues.

Do I need new hoses or can I reuse the old ones?

Reuse is possible if your existing hoses are in good condition and connect properly to the new radiator ports. If hoses show cracks, kinks, or stiffness, replacing them during radiator installation prevents leaks and ensures longevity.

What coolant should I use when I install this?

Use the same coolant type your Tacoma came with originally—check your owner's manual or the coolant overflow tank cap for the specification. Mixing coolant types can cause corrosion inside the new core.
