If you're looking to keep your engine cool and running smoothly, you really can't go wrong with a CSF radiator. I've been in the game long enough to know that a good radiator is essential, and CSF has been doing this for over 50 years. They’ve got a massive lineup with over 3,200 applications, so whether you’re rolling in an Acura or a Volkswagen, they’ve got something that fits your ride.
What I appreciate about CSF is that they don’t cut corners. Their radiators come in various materials—Copper-Brass, Plastic-Copper-Brass, Plastic-Aluminum, and All Aluminum—so you can choose what works best for your setup. They’re built to meet or even exceed OEM standards, meaning you’re getting the same quality you’d expect from the manufacturer but often at a better price.
These radiators aren’t just thrown together; they’re engineered with care. Each unit is wind tunnel tested to validate cooling performance, and they’re 100% leak tested at 150% of operating pressure before they even leave the factory. That’s peace of mind right there. The tanks are made from virgin grade engineered plastic resins, and they’re glass-filled for extra strength and durability. You won’t have to worry about them breaking down on you anytime soon.
Now, let’s talk about some of the nitty-gritty features. The gaskets are made from a special grade of EPDM rubber, which can handle extreme temperatures—up to -120°F, no problem. The fins, which are the heart of the radiator, feature a high-performance multi-louvered design for optimal cooling. Plus, CSF has industry-best packaging; they even pass a 10-foot drop test. You know they mean business when it comes to getting your radiator to you in one piece.
Here are some specs to chew on: this is a crossflow radiator with a single row, measuring 25 1/2" in core length and 21" in width, with a thickness of 1 1/4". The core is aluminum, and the tank is plastic, which keeps it lightweight yet durable. The inlet and outlet are both located on the lower sides, with a diameter of 1 3/8". And if you’re running an oil cooler, you’ll appreciate the high-efficiency plate type that measures 10 1/16".
This particular model is a perfect fit for the Toyota Tacoma from 2016 to 2020. Just a heads up—when you’re swapping out your radiator, don’t forget to check the old radiator pressure cap for any signs of wear. It’s the little things that can make a big difference in keeping your vehicle running at its best.
