CSF Radiators Heavy-Duty All-Aluminum Radiator for 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma 2-Row 42mm
$595.00
Free Shipping

If you’ve got a 1st Gen Toyota Tacoma from 1995 to 2004, you already know it’s a beast. These trucks have been holding strong for nearly two decades, and it’s no surprise why. They’re reliable, tough, and many are still cruising with over 200,000 miles on the clock. But let’s be real—after years of off-roading and daily driving, some parts could use a little TLC. That’s where the CSF Heavy-Duty All-Aluminum Radiator comes into play.

This isn’t just any radiator. The 2-row, 42mm core is designed to boost fluid capacity and enhance heat dissipation. The exclusive B-Tube Technology CSF uses is a game changer, improving heat transfer by about 15% compared to the standard oval tubes you’ll find in most aftermarket options. And those multi-louvered fins? They’re engineered for maximum airflow, ensuring your engine stays cool even when you're pushing it hard.

One of the standout features is the construction. The end tanks are made from high-grade aluminum and TIG welded to the core. This is a step up from the OEM design, which uses crimped plastic end tanks that are prone to failure. So, if you’re planning on tackling some serious trails or just want to keep things running smoothly while towing, this radiator has you covered.

Installation is a breeze too. It’s a true plug-and-play setup, meaning you won’t have to deal with any modifications, trimming, or cutting. CSF even throws in pre-cut double-sided adhesive foam strips to seal the fan shroud against the radiator, which helps with airflow efficiency. And don’t forget about the built-in heavy-duty transmission fluid cooler—it’s a 5-plate design that connects right to your OEM hoses, perfect for handling the extra heat that comes with larger tires or towing.

Speaking of tires, if you’ve upgraded to a bigger size, keep in mind that it can affect your gear ratio, making your engine work harder and generating more heat. But with the CSF radiator in place, you’ll have the cooling capacity to handle those demands without breaking a sweat.

Here’s a quick rundown of what you’re getting:

  • 2-Row - 42mm Ultra-High-Performance Core
  • 2-Year Limited Warranty
  • Cooling Tubes with CSF's Exclusive B-Tube Technology
