Codes, check engine light, wrench light???

If still under warranty go to a dealer and have the service writer or shop foreman come for a ride.

If no check engine light and no codes, and you aren't seeing something obvious with the RPMs, then I don't know what to tell you, and neither will the dealership. You need to be a bit more descriptive.

This is hard post to understand. The transmission "goes out of gear" like it goes into neutral, it downshifts, it upshifts?

Check the fluid level in your tranny? How much weight are you towing?

Does it feel like the transmission is slipping or is from the engine revving as it searches for lower gear to Crest the hill ?

I'd be curious as to what the GVWR of trailer is stamped on driver's side front of trailer.

There is very little info here. How steep is the hill? Is there a trailer in tow or not? It is December, so some place in the world there *may* be some slick roads.
We actually know nothing about the situation to make any kind of call on this.
And “loosing” all the power vs “losing” power...........who knows?!
