Backing a trailer can cause high tranny temps, however just pulling one normally should not. Take it to the dealer and have them check for any TSB's related to the Tranny cooling system.

Turn on the AC when doing the low speed manuvering with a trailer. It will engage the fan clutch. Just thought it might be worth a try.
