What is that tube for?

And forgive me...I did search but did not find a definitive answer...

On a 2019 5th gen there are 2 tubes between the radiator and grill. One runs vertically and appears to be the AC high pressure line. No problem, that can be bent slightly by hand.

What the heck is the larger tube that runs horizontally across and connects to rubber lines at both ends?? Is this really Toyota's answer for a P/S cooler?? Surely it isn't for engine coolant...
I would like to have the hose and fluid available when I pull the front end down to install the new Victory 4X4 Blitz bumper and winch. Looks like that tube needs to be moved up several inches...

Thanks in advance!

It depends on the size of your winch. You may need to relocate the solenoid of your winch, or you may be able to just carefully bend the brackets backward that hold the line on either side. What winch do you have?
 
Smittybilt 12000 Xo2 synthetic rope. Same footprint as the 10000 just a touch longer.
