Just did 1600 miles towing my 7600lbs travel trailer with the cuise set to 72 in very hot weather from canada to PA. When through the adirondack mountains and the trans temp stayed between 200 and 210. I do have HD towing package on my '17 Max (EL).

Trailer specs are: 30'11" overall length, 5600 dry weight and...
