High trans temp.
Towing around 7500 pounds of travel trailer and gear up a hill in 90 degree wether at about 6000 feet elevation. 2018 f150 crew cab shortbed 4x4 3.5 eco max tow. Thoughts? Ford service wasn’t alarmed by the temp. Im alarmed with a temp that high. Thoughts? Can’t get the pic to load. But the temp was 244 degrees

Yeah that's a little high for my taste too. Did the gauge ever go to the yellow portion? Have you inspected your radiator area to make sure no coolers are blocked? How long was the pull? Have you ever checked your trans fluid level are the dealer do it?

dang picture is being a pain. It was slowly rising for a good 30 mins till it hit 244 and then stayed there for a few mins until the grade leveled out. The gauge was right next to the yellow. I should check the trans fluid but have been lazy because i need to take off my big raptor skid plate that i put on! I told the dealer to check it, but i don't trust them at all. They can't even do a oil change right without spilling tons of it all over.
