I'd put the trans a touch higher. The thermostat inside the trans doesn't even open until 180*. I would suspect you'd see a touch higher in hot weather towing a trailer, depending on how much weight you're throwing around. Mine probably stays a little cooler with my towing tune since it's never hunting for gears and the converter is locked up most of the time.
