Well depending on trim level for the instrument cluster the engine and trans temperature should be available on the instrument cluster.
If still under warranty should be somewhat low miles 2018 6.4 with 4.10's, 10,000# should be well within tow ratings.

Can and did you check trans and engine temp while climbing that hill?
Have you checked the trans fluid level since this happened, and is it correct?
Have you checked the engine coolant level?
Could be just a faulty sensor sending bad data to the management computer, or a slipping trans.
