Best Engine radiator for Toyota 4runner

my 2005 4Runner Limited 4WD V8 that I bought one year ago with only 55k miles on it (well maintained time capsule), was just fine. Zero leaks from the radiator or anything. At 65k miles I went ahead and replaced the radiator with a Denso unit.

I figured going from a life in SoCal to southeast Texas summers would tax the radiator. Plus, 55k miles in 20 years, and now I’ll put about 20k miles a year on it, would likely make the original radiator go pop at the most inconvenient time, surely.

This happened to my 4Runner recently. New denso radiator from Rockauto was $150.

Get a Denso on Rock Auto for 130 and replace it yourself. Watch a YouTube video on how to do it and save yourself a bunch of coin.

I've had a Koyorad in my 97 for 5 years now and it's been great.

I swapped my original radiator at 230k with a denso replacement. Denso/oem parts have always been g2g for me.

Just swapped my OEM at 313k for a Denso, so far so good. Fit very snug, almost thought it wouldn’t fit, so that’s good for surface area at least!

I looked at what I bought like 165k and it was KOYO Radiator A1998 for $175 and I'm like 100k miles later and it still looks good. I just wanna change it for preventative maintenance since I'm gonna have my mechanic add the external cooler

The Koyorad full aluminum radiator is the one to have. Paired to your Hayden 698 since it doesn’t have a section to cool the trans fluid, however definitely worth it for durability as the next alternative over OEM replacement rad.

I just installed this Denso 7 years ago, won't pay for that again.

When I ordered a koyorad I didn’t get this in the box. I sent back what I got from them it was all dented and didn’t fit.
