Default Transmission 234 degrees while towing

I have a 2018 Cherokee Trailhawk 3.2 V6 with tow package. I do see an additional air cooler under the hood.
I just started towing (weight under 4,000 lbs) and i'm suppose to be able to tow 4,500. Read that you should stay well below (10% or more) of the max which i did.
Drove it home and not really any hills. Tran temp hit 234 as a high. Ran around 214 to 224 almost the whole time.
Anyone help me on this?

Technical questions belong in the technical section. Since you have a Trailhawk, that's here.
