It's pretty uncommon for an in radiator cooler to leakMy reason for wanting to bypass the oe in-radiator cooler is that it's only a matter of time before that cooler pops creates a huge mess.
But I'm no longer planning to go thar route. I'll keep the in-radiator cooler and add the additional oe cooler for the tow package.
It's the easiest and least expensive option.

Not true. I have a 2009 F150 with the largest factory cooler available (OEM, FX-4 with HD towing) and have had zero trouble with it.

Lol, I've got one of those sitting in the driveway too, waiting for the end of the month and our next scheduled trip.But the thing is there are alot of ultra light trailers around 5,000 pounds that are real nice-that are ideal for a half ton.
I have this one-

If one wants a dinette slide that's another 500 pounds.
You could easily add the stock stacked plate cooler (4 channel) or better yet the stock middle east stacked plate cooler (10 channel) or aftermarket Raptor cooler to your truck with very little modification.
