Kent,
That's the pits about your vehicle. I just want to suggest that you go to an auto parts store and get a Hayden transmission cooler and get it installed. Towing does put a lot of load on a transmission especially when pulling uphill. Any time the converter lockup clutch has to kick out, the converter generates a LOT of heat and the only salvation is the trans cooler. The original equipment is most likely a little heat exchanger in the bottom tank on your radiator and just isn't adequate for towing much of a load.
