Normal trans temp?
I recently bought a 2013 F150 XLT 5.0 4x4.When I switch to the gauge readout the trans temp is about 195 degrees at highway speeds warmed up.I am going to tow a 6k lb trailer tommorow about 400 mile.The air temp should be about 60 degrees.What is the highest trans temp I should see?Is there a warning if the temp gets too high?

These transmissions use a thermostat to regulate temperature, so it's normal to see 195° unloaded. I've never seen it get much above 205° when towing heavy under normal conditions.
