Could try an ATF cooler, said to help with temperature when towing and hills?? or a bit less right boot, i have to back right off for motorway hills or watch the temperature gauge creep up.

try usual thermostat, rad cap, flush coolin system, burp properly, check waterpump. if its still doing it phone stevo for a new head, if it loses coolant regularly

A 2" bodylift will help with airflow around the engine and transmission too!
