B&M makes a nice one. IIRC you can get them at Jegs, Summit and maybe Moes Performance.

most of the trucks come with stock ones don't they? Whats wrong with them? I heard that it would be better to get a second one if your towing a lot but i've hauled my horsetrailer fully loaded for the past 10 years on the stock one and havent had a problem.

Try a search, I've covered this topic so many times, it isn't even funny.

Usually only if you have the factory tow package.

Mine came with the tow pack and that's where the cooler is. You can just barely see it between the radiator and the condenser. Of course, there's also an OEM frame mount receiver and a trailer lighting adapter.

what size would you recommend? I looked at the B&G cooler and want to get one, but don't really know what size to get. Want the biggest I can i guess.
