Superduty cooler:

Another very good option:

The advantage of active cooling asserts itself at low speeds, idling and when moving in reverse ...

And in the sand. I drive out on the beach occasionally and if I don't go slow, my transmission overheats. (I can smell the fluid!) I have a 2002 F150Scab5.4 4x4 with the tow package. The factory transmission cooler looks fairly large and I was surprised that it wasn't enough. But, going slow there isn't much air flow. Just adding the thermostatically controlled fan might be enough it that was possible. I haven't looked into it.
