Transmissions heat up when they're slipping. Meaning non-lockup situations. Try dropping to 3rd to cool the tranny. With BT Gears at 55mph in 3rd is around 3k rpm. I tow here in California with a lot heavier trailer and in the mountains. I do a 6% grade and my tranny doesn't overheat. If it gets hilly, keep the rev's up or speed up. When towing in the flat I have to tow at 60mph or faster or else my tranny doesn't lock up in 4th gear.
