Someone please educate me on a torque converter?

If you're towing mostly on flat roads at constant speed you are probably ok. But that's a pretty heavy load for a sedan, so if you're doing a lot of stop/go or elevation changes, definitely worth considering adding some cooling capacity.

Yeah, you are reflecting my thinking.
- AJT123; the 4,000 lb is an extreme, and rarely that heavy. Mostly in the 3500-3800 lb range. It handles it fine.
- geko29; thanks for your thoughts. If the car tells me it's not happy, I'll certainly be installing a cooler.
Another question, my 2005 GS430 was sold in Japan, and is a Gen 3 subsequently imported to New Zealand, where I live. It has active sway bars, with all the control components in the trunk (see photo). I have two repair manuals, and neither cover this, so my questions are;
1 was the active sway bar an option, not a standard fit?
2 does anyone know where I can find the Repair manual / technical data covering this installation?
