Since I was curious about this as well I found this http://www.snowgoer.com/output.cfm?id=2028187
I've also read that auto transmission fluid (for the ford 6-speed) breaks down at 240°F
Last summer towing my 3500# boat from Phoenix to Tahoe by way of Sequoia NP and Yosemite (a lot of mtn driving) with my 09 Burb I saw temperatures into the 240's a couple of times so I backed off. In each of these events I also saw the water temperature start to climb. This was in early August. I tried asking the GM parts guys if the 4-speed auxiliary cooler kit would fit but nobody could say "yes" so I haven't added an auxiliary cooler yet.

I'm pretty sure my burb came with the trailering package which included a transmission cooler. I bet it is available, sorry I don't have part numbers.
I wish boating season was just around the corner up here in Michigan. I have to wait for May.
