I would add/upgrade the oil cooler before the radiator if its oil temp that's getting into the yellow. If water temp is not high, a bigger radiator might have little impact on oil temp.

How hard is it to add oil coolers? Reputable brands? I have a manual if that matters

Mishimoto makes a quality product. I wouldn't swap radiators out unless you're having cooling issues. That said, my 750hp lightning has Mishimoto parts on it...
1300whp here, stock radiator. Just saying.

My radiator is a baby one.... but one more option
Levittown gave me a great price of 275 to me for the ford perf pack radiator That, would be a cheap upgrade. It appears to be about a half inch wider, but the charts mishimoto shows quite a bit cooling increase, 30% more.

mishimoto posted this chart of my ecoboost radiators

they also posted photos of both of them, one w orange caps on hose connections is performance pack

1/2 thicker is a lot of surface area, 30% is good, nice upgrade.

Half an inch thicker, I guess all else the same

my Rad it says 1 inch, it says the pp is 1.44 inch But for less than 300, that could be a swap in 1 hour and done

L & H likely the same, it must be really. Otherwise your building brackets.

I've decided I won't pay more than $30-40 for any mail update. Waze and Google maps are what I usually use anyway. If I'm ever in an area that doesn't have cell service ( I haven't been in one of those areas in the last 10 years) then, I'll use the built in outdated maps and road signs for that short time.

I have the nav because I use it when I am in areas of poor cell service(which is a lot). My android and google maps are worlds better

Why not download the offline maps for the entire areas your going to travel in. They update automatically every 30 days and you'll never have to use that outdated car gps again.

Your best bet is to just drive the EcoBoost. Imo you're wasting money modifying that thing. Get yourself a v8. Every dollar you spend on that 4cyl could go towards a down payment for a v8. You'll get more trade in value towards a v8 if you leave it stock.

I was trying to keep the "get a GT" comments to myself. Well, can't unring the bell. @FreePenguin, save the money. Trade in for a GT. Perf pack has the bigger radiator you're looking for, with no turbo heat soak to worry about.
It's the truth mike.
