Default Auto Box Oil Coolers XC 60`s

Hi all
On late XC60`s, (2017 on) 2WD or 4WD does any one know if an oil cooler is fitted to autos.
I have looked at a couple of videos and some when changing gearbox oil show an oil cooler.
The reason for asking is I tow a 1700kg caravan to Spain sometimes in very hot weather and think any thing that keeps the gearbox oil cool is a benefit.
I know Merc`s in my company car days insisted on an upgrade at the factory to keep the oil cool, even the Touaregs with a potential tow capacity of 3500kg restrict this to about 1500kg if a factory bar is not fitted.
I would also be interested in any other points relating to towing with an auto XC60
Just thinking about prevention not cure

Thanks for any help in advance
